The iconic Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, plays host to the National Basketball Association’s Charlotte Hornets, as well as various events and concerts each year.
In the midst of several events in 2016, the arena learned it needed to upgrade its outdated domestic water system to comply with a city order. AME Consulting Engineers, a Charlotte-based mechanical, electrical, plumbing and telecommunications engineering firm, had discovered extensive corrosion on the building’s existing galvanized piping and began working with the city and the arena to finalize the best plan of action.
