The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[Cajun90]

Think I will be disappointed---Don't know a thing about construction but it is the same thing at Tulane as they do at the golf tourneys I have worked with Global Golf!!!

This is similar to what will be installed at the Tigue. I won't argue the point of metal at Turchin other than to say it is more substantial than any temporary facility I've ever seen erected.

The Tigue construction is only 5 days a week, 7.5 hours a day. Start at 8:AM, lunch 12 to 1:PM, work 1:PM to 4:30PM..........They may be milling around before 8:AM getting their work assignments. Just what I observed.

The day they did the concrete pour they were at it before 6am

That is when most concrete placements happen. Traffic is not an issue and they can wreck forms the next day. They do have to restrict activities around the fresh concrete though. I suspect this is a no overtime and no double shift project though.

Right on the time of the pour. But the prep to pour is not at 6:AM....All the digging and forming is at 8:PM. Maybe some days sooner. Just saying the project is somewhat not as urgent as the end-zone at Cajun Field. Reason, unknown.....

Frenchie i think the reason is known. We dont have the budget to expedite this project. As Helmut said, that means little or no overtime.

That being said. Even though we are behind schedule, you still have a finish date, don't you? Because of the delays it want be finished by mid-Feb. So the date should be moved up to, let's say mid-March or the end of March. Are has the finish date been removed for the contract and they finish when they finish?

Good luck getting a straight answer from the University on that. To my knowledge they havent provided a new target date. I believe the project team will try and provide a more solid date once the steel is up. Which will probably be completed in about 4 weeks.
I have no clue what ended up in the contract after all the delays.

There is a time on the contract. The contractor has a time line and I'm sure that if he felt that he wasn't going to meet the time he would be working on the weekends. Remember contract time is all the contractor is worried about. Baseball season is not his concern.

---Oh this is not the part I was talking about ----the golf deal isn't nearly like this---the part I was referring to was smaller parts---Anyway I hope ours does look better!!!

OK, knowing that, can't someone say what that timeline is? That way all of us will know exactly when we might be sitting in our seats at the Tigue. whether March, April or July.......
