I heard that the site didn't pass the soil testing that approve the ground for the weight of any building on it. Therefore the original contractor left the site. The second company was mixing some cement (the white stuff) into the soil so it could be brought up the "standards" for constructing a building upon it>
Don't know if it's all true but there's something fishy going on!!!!
Lime stabilization is what is going on. It has been in the construction plan from day one. A strike in Chicago and then torrential rains have caused progress to be slowed.
Mixing lime with the soil and moisture allows the pad to be hardened. This is standard procedure on large scale building projects.
The contractors who were awarded the contracts last school year are still the ones doing the work.
Rumors are more interesting than truth. There will be much for you to watch over the next few months Rensselaer Adventures! Enjoy your rides!
