New St. Mary tourism sight: sinking visitor's center

Looks like the basement wasn't originally in the plans, it was a late addition.

They’re saying it started from a settlement event.
Did they have a bad soils report? What type of foundation did they use?

You have to have a geotech report to build.

Here is a wider shot of where that beam is located. You can see where the flashlight is pointed, in the right upper segment of the building above the overhang @theadvocatebr

I’m sure they have auger cast pilings there that close to the river around BR.

You’d think the structural team might be able to get there sooner than 16 hours after the “event.”

I’m pretty sure it’s Bouquet & LeBlanc. Their signs are posted in front of the building. That’s the one that used to have a couple of guys out front everyday with picket signs. Unfair labor practices and such. One of the guys still comes back from time to time. I guess it keeps him busy between jobs.
