This has been under construction since I joined these forums and its still not close

 

[archited]

^^^^ So Its your fault then?

very small crew on site. I count maybe 8 guys doing the rebar at most.

Are you sure Gene Dub isn't in charge of construction?
I'm almost sure the Winspear construction was hit by the same issues as other construction projects: pandemic, staffing issues, supply issues and the weather.

I see progress I don’t know what you guys are complaining about.

 

[Airboy]

It appears the work is limited, there are only a few days a week the crews are on site.

It's progressing, but at a sloth's pace

It may appear slow, but does anyone have knowledge of the dynamics they might have to deal with? By tradition, it does appear to crawl from the technical standard of construction...but there are constraints with direct train line construction which abuts right next to their sight or an existing portion that has extreme costly sensitive instruments that one has to be mindful of. I can't imagine much wiggle room for laydowns just to start out let alone other circumstances. Now, factor in ingress and egress during the day time for materials at this particularly juncture. How fantastic to navigate trucks in a zone with such constraints and busy arteries...

And for the most part you may be correct but with that said this project is moving quite slow.

Wow I thought everyone would be delighted to see progress after years of delay but no. Bitch, bitch, bitch.
