JTS Improvements - Want More

[JM4CY]

Question for the Engineers that are following construction. Do you think the concrete wall is going to be tall enough to meet code after they pour and then backfill and plant grass, or will there be a need to put a safety extension on top of it (Wall by the Jake passageway)? Seems its going to be pretty short but I guess it could just be perspective.

I wondered the same thing.

When you look at the size of the persons doing the concrete work, it looks to me like the concrete wall will be tall enough.

The northeast hillside looks tall enough without a fence or safety extension. I assume the same for the NW hillside.

Mower/grass strip machine out working! So much activity today!

Looks like we'll be receiving more rain this evening. With the freshly poured concrete, they must be confident it won't rain heavy in the next several hours.

Sorry, I'm still not convinced they are putting a lid on the tunnel.

The new pour is here! The new pour is here! We’re somebody!

Those walls are taller than you think. They just appear short from the camera angle/distance. Also remember the walls on the upper deck only come to above the waste and don't have any extensions. The ramp walls will be similar height.

The trash must be deep up there.

No, you're thinking of a different stadium. That's Kinnick.

Looking at the east side, I'm going to say there will be some sort of fence installed on top of those side walls. Doesn't look like they've got 42" of wall height.

After the tunnel is dried, will soil and grass go over it or are they just going to mound it up around the concrete and leave it?

Jamie just gave a tour of the Performance Center on the Tailgate Tour. That place is going to be awesome for the student athletes.

I believe 32" is the minimum mandate, but I could be wrong.

Dang missed it, hope they put the video of that out.

Twitter link to the tailgate tour. I think the tour is in there somewhere.

No, building code requires 42" minimum guard rail for any drop in grade over 30".

So…a guard rail atop the wall, right?

Because lots of the kids trying to see the players run out won’t clear 42”.
