Casino Club Construction

GBSC — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 19:43:33 +0000

It’s hard to believe that construction on the Casino Club at The Greenbrier began only 10 months ago. Indeed, it’s a magnificent feat of construction. Photographer Mike Wyatt installed a time-lapse camera that captured the building process from the first shovel of dirt to the re-landscaping of the main entrance. Of particular interest in the below video, which squeezes the whole 10 months into a little over 3 minutes, are the massive snow storms we experienced in December of 2009 and January of 2010.

Some Raw Statistics of the construction of the Casino Club at The Greenbrier:

• There were 130,000 cubic yards of excavation with 18,000 cubic yards of dirt put back on the site
• Over 50,000 tons of stone were used
• Six tenths of a mile of cobblestone curbing were laid
• Over 70,000 brick pavers were used
• The project includes one mile of storm piping
• 17,060 Cubic yards of concrete were used (this is enough concrete to pave a sidewalk from The Greenbrier to Beckley)
• 980 tons of reinforcing steel were used
• 2,500 tons of structural steel were used in the project
• One mile of cast iron pipe, two miles of domestic water pipe and two miles of mechanical piping were used
• 65 miles of new fiber optic and copper data communication cables were installed.
• 92 tons of sheet metal were used
• 960 tons of cooling capacity was built
• 19 miles of conduit and 100 miles of wire were used
• 1.5 megawatts of power generation capability was built to handle emergency electrical needs
• Seven miles of crown molding are found throughout the project

Member Dashes for Cash at GEHS

GBSC — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:20:06 +0000

Wednesday night was very exciting during the girl’s basketball game at Greenbrier East High School. Not only did the Lady Spartans crush the Capital Cougars from Charleston, WV, but our very own Vice President and General Manager Larry Klein purchased the winning ticket for “Dash for Cash”. (The money from ticket sales goes to support the GEHS sports program.)

Normally the winners choose a kid to dash for them, Larry decided to choose Sporting Club Member Byron Rausenberger. He had 15 seconds to grab as much of the $2,000 that was littering the gym floor as he could. He did a great slide and collected $147 in singles from the Spartan floor. Reportedly there were a couple larger bills, but alas he did not find them. (The $147 won that night was happily donated to the Greenbrier Humane Society.)

We hope you enjoy this short video of Byron’s Dash for Cash. It’s a stellar slide!
