BC Field Visit 13

BC_fieldvisit_13







The Turner St. parking garage project had also been slowed down as well.  A week ago there were many different subs doing a bunch of different work around the site.  On this day the only sub out on the site was Long Foundation.   One team was out driving piles which you can see in the background of the third picture, while another team was putting together form work for the concrete walls.  It seemed that the forms were not only being put together for the exterior wall but that they were forming some sort of booth that would be at the entrance of the garage along with a concrete column.  There was heavy rain through out the day and it was beginning to take its toll on the site, there were trenches that were dug but now completely filled with water and the grading of the entrance was slowly deteriorating.  One recommendation that I have for the Turner St. site is having retention ponds.  I that almost every other site on campus had a retention pond, but the Turner St. site lacked one.  I feel that with these they would have been able to reduce the amount of sediment that was being washed away by the drains.
