The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

[CajunAmos]

It's not a fuel issue. It's a safety issue. They need to have access to all floors in case there is an accident causing injury. Some subs will not allow their emlpoyees on a man loft due to workmans comp issues. Also, it is a logistics issue, there will be more and more trades needing to get up and down so much it would keep a lift working all day. The first level of stairs was in place before Thanksgiving.

I'm sure you have to have permanent stairs (probably two sets) but where would you put the two elevator shafts if the stairways are staying where they are currently located?

Prior reports had more detail. If you know how to read them you can deduce that it would be possible to have access to the primary seating area as early as the second week of March.

Now the current schedule shows Lemoine trying to finish the stadium April 22nd when the contract completion date is April 28th. That means they feel they are 6 days ahead. So you can infer based on the rumor of playing the S. Miss. series in the Tigue that the critical path for the main seating area shifts a week back as well. Which would mean the first week of March.

Lemoine can still access the site to finish other work as needed since baseball games will happen outside of normal construction times.

Meaning cert of occupancy would be 1st week in March?

Yes but they would be asking for a "temporary certificate of occupancy" for only the sections that are substantially complete and meet all life safety and fire code requirements.

If they do this you might actually see the critical path for the whole project slip back slightly because they will not have as much open access to the site logistically or time wise. I'm sure they will work out something with the University that makes both parties happy.

1st week of March would be sweet. I've had nightmares about getting in before Easter.

Took a few more photos this afternoon. Since the grandstand steel is now being installed behind the bleacher sections and thru the clubhouse I thought I'd get a few of those views as well as they don't show up very well from the current camera views. This is behind the right field bleachers.

[CajunAmos]

This is where todays steel work was being done.

[CajunAmos]

This was from the hill on the football stadium.

And this shows the structural beams through the roof of the current clubhouse.

Placed additional concrete for the wall at the field this morning. Placing steel decking on the third level this morning.

A little bit of cinder block work (or at least staging the material) being done on the bottom level that you can see on the close view camera
