This was the second day it had been raining heavily and it seemed that all the construction around campus had been slowing down significantly. This was definitely the case at the Signature Engineering Building. There were no subs on the site at the time that I visited. There was one person working on a miniature excavator but soon stopped and went back into the office. This job site unlike the Turner St parking garage had 4-5 retention ponds scattered throughout the site. This helped collect the water and keep it away from the major parts of the job site. I can see the need to stop excavation work especially when its raining. Earth get heavier and more expansive then taking up more space in the truck and burning more fuel, the only question is that is how much more cost effective is it to stop working for a day than working and only getting a portion of the days work done?
