Popular Post texan Posted October 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2021 Great news! Campus construction bonds are currently making their way through the Texas Legislature and have bipartisan support. The bill provides support for Texas A&M's TMC3 building, MD Anderson's TMC3 building, and (depending on if the House or Senate version becomes law) possibly UT Health Houston's TMC3 building. There's still legislative finagling that needs to happen between the two chambers but there's a decent chance this happens before the deadline tomorrow. https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=873&Bill=SB52 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas A&M: $69,897,111 MD Anderson: $69,897,111 UT Health Houston: $69,897,111 I believe these projects were already fully funded before so this will mean either larger buildings or (more likely) new projects elsewhere. https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/873/billtext/pdf/SB00052F.pdf#navpanes=0 Edited October 19, 2021 by texan 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFootsSocks Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Dumb question but wouldn't they want to remove the sand and dirt buildup under the rebar before they pour the concrete for that road? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangledwoods Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Quote Dumb question but wouldn't they want to remove the sand and dirt buildup under the rebar before they pour the concrete for that road? paving is pretty much always on grade (no vapor barrier). all you need is for the rebar to be clean and have your proper depth for the specified paving. The subgrade here is probably select fill or lime stabilized material. As long as there is no organic material (topsoil) they are good to go. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that sand I see on top of the asphalt layer under the rebar is fine? Thanks for answering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post aachor Posted December 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) It's kind of easy to take the scale of this project for granted...until you see these wider shots. The construction site would easily cover a dozen city blocks elsewhere. It's massive. (Edit: rough outline of site North of OST overlayed on a map of the downtown) Edited December 6, 2021 by aachor Added a map for comparison 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
