Facility Upgrades Would Aid Coaches

I think with all of the architects, designers, engineers, construction guys, etc. posting on RP every day, the University should have contacted the Ragin Pagin posters. This construction would have been done yesterday.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or serious...

The problems didn't lie with any of those professions.

It is hard to tell...I am being serious. I am an HR guy. Not a construction guy. In most threads about the MP, posters talk about the technical aspects of engineering, welding, ordering pipe, concrete, etc.

Yep, I know where the issues were. I was just bragging on all our fellow technical/construction/engineering folks.

My second, less obvious point, is that on RP, we are Cajun fans first. But in reality, some have careers, families, etc. It's kind of cool to hear about what everyone does for a living.

Oh My. They are further behind then I thought. Somebody is going to have to bust their butt to get some steel ordered, cut and bent unless they have made some other arrangements to pre-order. A steel supplier would not cut or bend unless a firm order was in hand.

Yup. That was the reason I had asked in another thread a while back about their ability to make up time during the summer months.

I think if they have some groups lined up to start early March, then I think they can start with some ground and demo work for a few weeks maybe. Do you agree? What's the shortest lead time on steel that you have seen? The thought of having equipment and crews idle while you're waiting on materials is usually a pretty undesirable situation for a contractor.

They would need to get a good supplier like Whitecap or CMC. Big guys that can handle a job like this quickly. They have computer driven automatic rebar benders that can bend a bar exactly the same way every time fairly quickly. I would think they could get rebar on site in about 4 to 6 weeks after final approval of shop drawings and detail sheets. The problem is if an error is made in detailing and it's not caught then they could literally have tons of bent rebar that they can't use. I am glad I am not involved in that. Given that, I would suspect they have a good 6 to eight weeks of dirt work and form work to do so they can probably schedule around it.

I was thinking DD would have been finished in early January and they would be finishing finals now. I'm sure they are putting in some long hours on this one. That kind of scares me a little bit because that's when errors happen. We shall see.

they can make up time by turning on the lights and running two shifts.
