Quad Reconstruction

Damn, talk about hitting the delete button! Was a complete reconstruction necessary? Hopefully they didn't have to remove any old oaks

They took all of the Oaks out and will plant Lob-lolly Pine hoping that will get us to Tier I like our little brother up north.

I wonder if anyone, at the very least, gets a bad performance review for designing a project, and then years later is determined to be poorly designed with a complete demolition necessary. (i.e., brick pavers)

The problem was they made a mistake attaching the pavers to a sidewalk. The sidewalk was never intended to have pavers and the did not adhere properly to the concrete sidewalk below. The quad never drained well and got worse when they added the additional sidewalks and the plaza in the middle. It looks like they are addressing the drainage issue with this project.

More drainage an utility work on the quad. The weather is really giving this job fits.



The white pipe is drain pipe yet to be installed.

This is true. It has been home to a bunch of square shapes though.

Football fields a baseball field, and even a cotton field.

They have finally got to the point where all of the underground work is just about finished. This winter weather has given them fits. This project just like the parking garage will start to see above ground work pretty soon and progress will be easier to track.
