WOSgrad Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Ok, what is the contingiency for the BISD if this CAN'T be remedied by the start of the season. Are Durley and the Babe playable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMTSoulja1 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I see this as a way to being prepared just incase the ground becomes unleveled. Like the article said, 'worse case scenerio'. The name have nothing to do with it, Comedians... ;D Just want to make sure all this is done right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradinUp BH Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 It's called a rice field, I thought all football fields were uneven. Atleast BISD is recognized ;D Hopefully the people that built it was bonded or were they? Ya'll can play your games on the reservation only on Saturdays though ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82 5A State Champs Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I was thinking the same thing. Shouldn't the fact that it was built on a rice patty be your first clue to the unlevel ground? One would think that after all the money that has been spent on this thing, something as elementary as taking soil samples wouldn't have been missed. Geez, they should have let LOCAL contractors build the thing instead of subbing it out to the minority contractor out of Houston! >:( My bad, they're out of New York!

Someone that used to the SE Texas gumbo around there would have been better suited for the job. My mom ran into the same issue hiring a Lum company out to do her pool. They said that they didnt realize the clay was so thick down there!! I guess they were used to the red dirt in lumberton. Anyway, since BISD is running this , I am not terribly surprised.

KFDM COOP Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 BISD to spend $275.000 to fix stadium soilComments 1 | Recommend 0June 17, 2010 10:00 PMScott LawrenceBEAUMONT - The Beaumont ISD board voted Thursday night to spend $275,000 to fix soil problems at the stadium end educational support center under construction off I-10 near Brooks Road.Sinking soil has led to a delay in final installation of turf.There had been discussion the district might have to spend $1.2 million for soil repairs but the contractor assured the board it could do the work for much less and would finish the stadium by August when school begins.Some trustees were angry the contractor is still taking and analyzing soil samples near the end of the process. [b]They said the work should have been completed at the beginning. [/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82 5A State Champs Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 They're saying that it should be completed and playable by August 27 when WB and Ozen play. Only time will tell. I have a feeling there may be other issues that they are not telling us about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
