Milwaukee Bucks Fiserv Forum

When the Milwaukee Bucks set out to build Fiserv Forum, it wasn’t just about constructing a new arena—it was about creating an iconic structure that would define the city skyline and serve as a centerpiece for the community.

GRAEF provided erection engineering and designed essential steel bracing for key components—beams, columns, steel decking, and trusses—encircling the stadium bowl. We also engineered the assembly and erection of the impressive long-span trusses, featuring a remarkable 313-foot span for the main roof.

One of GRAEF's most significant contributions was the detailed erection procedure we developed for the long-span trusses. This procedure outlined every step—from bracing to crane pick points and loadings—ensuring seamless coordination between all teams. This advanced planning was key to the project’s success, resulting in a coordinated, efficient erection plan that brought Fiserv Forum to life.
