Anyone know why they are using precast concrete for the long wall in the pictures ? Will it be fireproofed  :whistle1:

Because walls formed in place take a really long time

does he really mean precast or does he mean tilt?  :runaway:

Because walls formed in place take a really long time

On a project such as this the savings isn't so much in the forming time as in the time to cure before backfill since those walls (I believe) will be below grade.

Is there a webcam of the Vanier II project? I love following the construction of sports facilities. Kyle Field has been a treat to drive past every day.

The real question is whether you have enough bandwidth to support all of our webcams .

very true, however, backfilling will not occur at those walls. You see, they mechanically stabilized the crap out of that earth.  fyi

I don't know, but I hear the fire rating on the butter cooler is like 5 hours.
