how could we gauge how steady progress has been vs how it was supposed to progress to meet the original deadline?  a project of this scale would have a very complex schedule that would be part of the contract documents, no one just commits to a date without a ton of asterisks, and a contractor who has been in business a while is a master at documenting every delay religiously. there are many different trades working, some independent and some not.  "progress" could be made in some areas while a different path is being pushed back a couple weeks and we wouldnt know.  a partial delivery of some material could cause a sub to justifiably only put half the workforce on this project, that's still "progress" but off schedule.  not to mention external delays ( cant get such and such inspection because some office has Covid going around, etc)

the project may have never sat with nothing done for 2 months at a time but multiple 1-2 week delays on certain paths would be impossible for us to see and still end up as months on the final product.

 

 

Was just giving the eye test. Don't remember any periods of weeks where nothing got done plus things seem to progress in a logical fashion, like you couldn't work on the roof until the beams were up, you couldn't lay the turf until the shell was done. You very well could be right but to the untrained eye things seem to move along.

Nice explanation ..... and also remember, this was being done a Bull owned construction company so you **** well everything possible was being done to get it in on time, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

I am guilty on this subject . . . this thread is about the IPF, not OCS.

Looks like they were putting in the A/C units on both the North and South end of the IPF today. It's the area where the crane was in the last picture.

John,

Are they putting the electrical conduit for the lights in yet?

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
