The numbers tell the story

Sometimes the work site doesn't appear to change much week-to-week so let's take a look at the numbers. They show how well we are moving forward:

250 Tons of rebar steel have been placed to date.

8,400 yards of spoils hauled off.

2,300 yards of fill placed.

1,800 yards of Concrete placed.

27 pile caps for the main building structure completed along with 15 Large columns and 10 small columns

Man power is increasing and the current estimated head count of workers is in excess of forty (40) workers in the field

Brice has started installing building grade beams, concrete material and forms are in place as this activity will continue for many weeks ahead. Completion of large monumental pile caps is expected very soon weather permitting, and first floor underground preparatory work has begun- all electrical, communications and plumbing systems supporting the first floor will be complete before the end of August .

We're moving forward and UP!

In less than 90 short days since our Construction Kickoff event, the Louisiana Cancer Research Center is beginning to rise into the sky. This photo shows the concrete columns that are emerging from the pile caps as the building officially comes out of the ground. Installation of underground conduits and raceways, sanitary sewer, storm drain, and water supply lines has also begun.

Foundation Construction Underway

Work on the foundation for the 10-story cancer center has begun, and concrete caps for the pilings are being poured. This photo shows work on one of the thirty-four monolithic pile caps. After installing a rebar cage, the form is filled with concrete. The two-car garage sized structure of solid concrete will support the future columns as the building rises. Over 1,000 cubic yards of concrete have already been poured for the pile caps.
