The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

Looks like electricians are working this morning.

Is the large copper pipe in the foreground potable water or maybe a fire system?

Potable water, I do not think fire system because copper will melt under heat.

Yes potable water. Copper is not used for fire sprinkler systems. Don't think there would be a sprinkler system at the stadium.

Thanks

Looks like they are jumping all over this building. Is that stairs they are installing on the third base side? I know what they are trying to do. Eliminate using those lifts to put employees on higher floors. Take the stairs, lest fuel used.......

Looks like they've been installing stairs on the 3rd base side over the last day or so along with the continuing plumbing/electrical. Also, have about 2/3 of the backstop wall done

I actually understood that each side of the grandstand would have an elevator well. One side would be installed in the initial construction, and the second would be installed at a later time.

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?

I saw elevator shafts to the right of thr close up camera the other day.
