    JTS construction webcam?

    I was just looking through the photo archive and noticed on 8/13/14 there is a make-shift tent structure overlooking a test-pile. Typically, after the test pile loading is complete and the data is analyzed the piers can get shorter in depth. The result of this is a credit back to the General...

    JTS construction webcam?

    My guess is that the piers that they are doing now will end up being the column footings for the lower part of the upper deck structure and they will have "clusters" of piers on the higher shelf that would be for the column footings for the upper part of the upper deck structure. Also, their...

    JTS construction webcam?

    Looks like they are installing auger cast today starting on the East end lower level. They have the grout pump staged on the higher elevation with concrete trucks backed up to it.

    JTS construction webcam?

    I hope they aren't laying down all that nice looking gravel for the auger-cast installation and have to replace a bunch of it when spoils are removed. We'll see...

    Are there links to the bid-documents anywhere? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W67KeS5c8vQ Here is an installation video of Auger Pressure Grouted by Berkel & Company out of Kansas City. We installed about 2,500 of these on my last project ranging from 50' to 100' deep.

    Couple off-topic comments: 1) There are a TON of seat backs installed on West side; nothing yet on East side :( Can't wait to have ours come 3 weeks. 2) They are installing very deep auger pressure grouted concrete piles...who is the contractor? Berkel?

    Concrete Slab

    I don't know what the thickened slab area would do for you around the perimeter; I would expect that with a block wall but not a stick framed shed; again there isn't very much load at all on the concrete.

    Concrete Slab

    I would think a 4" slab would be more than enough. It's not like you are loading the slab with tremendous weight or anything. I would second the welded wire fabric, but if you don't it's not going to kill you. Support it off the sub-grade with some concrete bricks or something similar. If it...

    NCAA MEN'S GOLF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

    At one point we were -9 as a team, we have dropped to -3 under and the 17th hole par 5 I think is averaging over par looking at the teams that have finished.

    Sleeping issues

    We have a 1-year old boy and I experienced similar experiences where I would wake up in the middle of the night thinking our boy was sleeping in the bed with us and I would dig through the covers looking for him. We have also never had our boy sleep with us in bed and he has always been in a...

    Getring ready to do Garage Floor. Advice?

    Ideally you'd put down a vapor barrier below the slab to prevent moisture coming up through the slab and causing the epoxy to release from the substrate. Cleaning the dlab , soap, acid etc needs to be completed yo remove any oils, moisture, etc. That would cause the epoxy to flake.
