A San Marcos company has been awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to supply concrete components for the SBC Center, the San Antonio Spurs' new home. The components include more than three miles of seating risers and nearly one acre of wall panels. The project is set to be finished in September 2002.
Hunt is the general contractor.
Monte Thermond, contract manager at Hunt, says Heldenfels was chosen because the company offered the best price and value. Two other companies had bid on the project. Heldenfels says the concrete components will be manufactured at his company's plant in San Marcos beginning in June. The company might need to hire additional staff, he says, but it's unclear how much overlap there will be between the SBC project and another contract the company is working on. Work on that project is being split between Heldenfels Enterprises' plants in San Marcos and Corpus Christi.
