Nothing moves! That's not interesting! Mechanical Engineer, FTW. :D

It takes a lot of work to make sure things don't move, because of they do, people die. Theost interesting part should be when they pour the floor in one continuous action. It takes a lot of coordination.

It doesn't take a civil engineer to have a pumper truck with boom on site for the concrete trucks to empty into. Nor does it take a civil engineering degree to have a bunch of laborers and finishers work the concrete smooth. :p


All that takes is some muscle, and union<!-- or since it is the UP, non-union --> labor. :cool: ;)

Yeah, screw the **** unions.

And, with the dirt overlay protecting the coolant lines, they might be able to even drive the concrete trucks right up to where the band used to be, and start pouring concrete working their way towards the service door/blank wall.

I think a pumping truck would make better sense in allowing for a more constant flow, and less weight over the dirt/coolant lines.


<--- Not a civil engineer, but I am a construction management major. Still a little bitter Gundlach Champion didn't hire me seven years ago...

Wouldn't the cooling lines be in the concrete that is going to be poured, not in the dirt? It doesn't make much sense to have them in dirt, I'd think that the dirt would be a disadvantage for heat conduction reasons.

Yeah, you're right, I just saw in the one webcam of a thin layer of dirt being placed over what looked like cooling lines. I thought maybe they were just going to put a thin set slab on top of that.

Here's a good article about how it's done with the cooling lines in the concrete:

So youre say the sum of all youre forces has to equal 0 and youre good? Sounds pretty easy and boring.

Since these threads normally turn in to things not hockey related and many of you already know. I proposed to my girlfriend over the weekend and she said yes, so some day in the not so distant future, there will be a Mrs. Shirtless Guy as I am not engaged....sorry ladies.
