A little closer view.......

I think someone dropped their keys.

THEY FOUND THE PLAQUE!

I noticed they are placing the upper backer boards in advance to the prior concrete pour, then anchoring the front ones to the new concrete (once dried). Spending up the process.

Is that cement pre cut?.. I don't see where it is. Sure is digging a straight line...

[Frenchie35]

Didn't see them cut the cement, but I am sure the ran a cement saw first. If not the cement would have cracked. If you look close behind that bobcat you can see some of the cement cracked where they sawed it....

They cut the bottom edge with a saw, the top edge was formed with a metal key way(Burke Joint). You can see it at the edge of the upper slab. They kind of messed it up with the bucket of the back hoe.

The concrete saw has industrial grade diamonds impregnated in a carbide edge of the blade. It is cooled with water but they do have dry cut blades. Don't stand too close or your ears will ring (maybe for the rest of your life).

This may be a little technical engineering talk, but the purpose of the trench is to put stuff. I have never seen anyone dig a trench without then putting something in it. Watch, you'll see!

[Frenchie35]

Correct, even if they put the stuff they dug out of it right back in it......just so it's stuff....

Looks good so far! Does anyone know the May start date of the IPF Tier 1 70,000 sqft addition?

If I remember correctly it will coincide with the surface construction needed for the restrooms and concessions. So as soon as the end zone seating is completed it should start soon after.

Think it's a French drain.

Not sure what 'IPF' stands for......is that the same thing as the 'APF' ( athletic performance center)? And I wonder if the Cox center will demolished directly after the APF is finished, along with Reinhardt Dr being straightened out? One last question: is the construction on the sports plaza included in Tier One? Thanks.....
