Construction workers continue work at the Beadle Center Wednesday. Heavy rains during the
summer have delayed the construction of the Genetics and Biomaterials Research facility
Muddy conditions delay project
J
By Jeremy Fitzpatrick
Editor
Heavy rains this summer de
layed construction on UNL’s
George W. Beadle Center for Ge
netics and Biomaterials Research
and caused the contractor to ask for
more time to complete the project.
Howard Parker, the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln’s project
manager for the center, said rain
over the summer caused muddy
site conditions and delayed the
pouring of concrete for the cen
ter’s walls and floors.
The muddy conditions made it
difficult to get equipment onto the
construction site and hard to use
once it was there, he said.
“It’s been like a mud bath,” he
said. “It’s difficult to bring equip
ment up to the site and to move
equipment up to and around the
building.”
The pouring of the center’s con
crete walls and floors also was de
layed, Parker said, because con
crete cannot be poured in the rain.
Parker said the center’s builder
—Builders, Inc. of Lincoln—has
twice asked UNL to grant a con
struction delay because of the
weather. The first request came on
April 16, Parka- said, and the sec
ond came July 19.
A delay would give Builder’s
Inc. extra time to complete the
project without being penalized for
finishing past the contract date.
Parker said UNL would grant a
delay, but he was not sure how long
it would be. The university is wait
ing to grant the delay until Build
er s Inc. receives National Weath
er Service data on the days it is
asking UNL to consider, he said.
The Beadle Carter is now about
25 percent completed, Parker said.
Original plans for the center called
for it to have been about 40 percent
done at this point, he said.
“The original contract’s com
pletion date was July 6,1994,” he
said. “It remains to be seen what it
will be when we get the weather
service information, and we get the
delay time.”
The next obstacle the contractor
faces, Parker said, is getting ready
for the winter cold.
“The contractor is working as
hard as possible to enclose as much
of the construction by the time that
winter weather sets in so they can
work in an enclosed building,” he
said. “They are installing exterior
walls right now wherever they can,
and they are trying to finish as
much of the concrete reinforced
brick before the winter weather
sets in.”
