Raising the Stakes
THE PROJECT
Gephart was responsible for the electrical and low voltage construction of the expansion of the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant,
Oklahoma. We provided turn-key Design/Assist services for both the electrical and low voltage systems work on the project.
Construction started in June 2008, with a project completion date of February 8, 2010.
The 500,706 SF project features 110,000 SF of gaming space with 3,000 slots, 38 table games and a separate 30-table poker
s
OUR PLANNING
Because of the multitude of projects involved, Gephart’s early Design/Assist expertise was a necessity for this project. We worked openly with
the architect, Worth Group Associates, and Engineer, Giovanetti, Shulman Associates which allowed us to coordinate and plan in order to
prevent delays and further expenses. Gephart focused on the critical path to meet or beat all milestone dates set.

“The success of the Choctaw Nation Casino and Resort was a direct result
of the teamwork by everyone involved – Gephart Electric was one of the
team members who was brought on early in the process. They provided
accurate budgets throughout the design process and did an excellent job
working with the engineers in a design-assist role to ensure that the design,
schedule, and budget remained in check. The fast-track schedule required
them and managed it well. We look forward to having the opportunity to
work with them on future projects and we would not hesitate
recommending them to others.”
