Hell, why not put the pipes behind the column instead of off to the side. To me that would have been fine. I guess whatever intern that was looking at the shop drawings missed where the hole was cut into the steel and it was below the metal soffit panels. Steel shop drawings are a tedious b***h to look through but on a project such as this suck it the hell up.


Could be something up there you can't see. I do this kind of thing and we come up with a lot of WTF solutions for routing that don't make sense to the casual observer until you look at the entire building.

I like the direction this thread has headed.

I'm going to take a stab and assume that these are the downspouts for the internal gutters at the lower edge of the canopy. If you look at the elevation of the edge toward the fields vs the edge toward the road, you will see that there is probably not enough fall to get these pipes to enter the vertical support while inside the canopy. It's too bad that they couldn't get them at least behind the columns looking from the outside.

I would assume that they used BIM to build this structure. If they caught it on that, they probably just decided it was something they could live with. Clearly, they should have consulted Texags first.

I checked with my BMA boss. They consulted him about it and in the end the decision was made to use the savings from rerouting the pipes to add mountain breeze scent to the lazy river in his founders suite.

Figured he won't be able to see it from his plane flying in and after he parks in lot A, he can't tip his head that steep to ever see it anyway.

New plan. Divert drainage from the canopy to Section 113 to create a hot tub.

we're not really naming a corner after alabama's coach, are we?

just mentioned the drainage system is a $1 million system and state of the art. Maybe make it $1,000,020 to buy a couple cans of spray paint or a little more and do it right by creating a metal cover.

The video doesn't work for me either... I know! I'll go get my AT&T and/or Verizon phone and see if the video will work then. I have been told the connectivity is state of the art.

It appears you don't know what "state of the art" means.

Material around the field is called PorousPave...basically recycled, ground up tires.

That's about as deep as a swimming pool built out of window screen...

I think you probably get it (that license plate came to mind when he first made the argument). But, I realized after his third response on the subject that any continued effort to explain the difference to him would be futile.

So it really should be: "Now standing at the North-Northwest end of Kyle Field, the nationally famous, Fightin' Texas Aggie Band?"

The only building on campus that truly faced the north is now a parking lot.

And that Northside is really Westside and Southside is really Eastside?

It went north to south long ways, but faced west. Downtown Bryan streets are pretty much true to direction, the rest of the town is tilted..
