The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[duggie85]

So the Cox building will be taken down before the new Clubhouse is built therefore the coach and players will have to move out of the Cox building when the roof is sealed around the columns that will go through the old clubhouse......Please don't advertise this because the school to the east of us and the one to the north of us.....way north, will have a field day on that plan.

Frenchie, Ruston won't be making fun of anything. Their new football locker room is a maze with all the columns in it. There's more, these are just the only 2 pics I took....

Is Helmut the 'resident engineer?' I don't think I've seen a definitive date from him, although right above he says he's not sure how much of the season will be lost.

The only reason I am not sure is because I don't know exactly where they are on the time line. Once they finish with the slab on grade that will give me a hard point and then I can compare that point with the same point on original time line. What I do know is they had originally projected completion of the demolition at the end of June and from what I can tell they finished demolition in the first week of August. That puts them about 5 weeks behind the original time line. What I don't know is what affect the rains in August had on the work schedule. I suspect at least a week but that's a guess.

Understood....but that's my point: we certainly all agree that there was a significant delay, but we really don't have a firm grasp yet of how delayed we are. And I for one will believe you, once you are able to make that projection.

But....those aren't columns.....they are racks to hold up all those nifty tv screens. LOL

Looks like the laundry room for the most part.

It rained in August? You sure?

They quit working after the pour or because there's a football game tonight at 7:00 PM?

I'd guess they poured all of the footings and would have to wait for them to cure which may take a couple of days. Helmut?

They will probably wreck the forms tomorrow and move them over to the next section.

[HelmutVII]

They are wrecking forms this morning.

Does concrete of that size cure that quickly?

Its not fully cured but its far enough along to remove forms. Some large concrete pours don't "fully" cure for years.
