Boston Red Sox Spring Training Facility – JetBlue Park at Fenway South

Fort Myers, Florida
Client: Lee County
Market Sector: Sports & Entertainment
Role: Threshold Inspector

Client Need

Lee County required a premier Spring Training facility for the Boston Red Sox that honored the iconic character of Fenway Park while incorporating the natural and cultural aesthetics of Southwest Florida. Given the complexity of the architectural and structural design—including a unique wavy roofline and regionally inspired exterior materials—rigorous inspections were necessary to ensure safety and code compliance throughout construction.

How We Helped

UES provided threshold inspections for the duration of the project, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with Florida Building Code requirements. Our services supported the successful construction of key structural components including:

Reinforced concrete and structural steel elements
Shallow foundation systems
Vibro-compaction ground improvements to enhance load-bearing capacity

By delivering timely and accurate inspections, UES helped keep the $77.9M project on track and ensured long-term performance for this high-profile venue.
