I wish they would have taken the opportunity to add some green features such as solar panels

It should be ready just in time for the last White Flight.

Landrieu Concrete advertises that they’re 100% women owned so that companies can fill their diversity quotas. Disgusting

quote:Won’t make that date, around Thanksgiving they stopped tarmac/apron paving because the already installed paving was cracking and/or sinking inches. They still don’t know why (obviously that it’s being placed on ground that was not dry land 10,000 years ago, everyone understands that). Theoretically the methods taken should have been good enough to bridge the substandard subgrade. In practice they did not.
It's scheduled to open in February 2019, according to the airport's website
Some recently placed concrete will have to be removed and replaced.

I didn't start this as a political thread, but it is unfortunate if what you say is true. But should we be surprised?

That’s probably the worst thing about it that they’re moving TSA screening into the Terminal and not in each individual airline’s Concourse

Good on them to show off for their 300th anniversary.
I've been wondering... whatever happened to that huge office tower they wanted to have built in the CBD?

No.
The entire A concourse is closed.

Having a centralized security checkpoint is now standard practice for all new airports.
Is Landrieu concrete owned by a member of the mayors family? Not shocked if so just curious?

I know that but it doesn’t make it more efficient than how it is now.

As if that matters to the flying public.
It's a boondoggle.
Every mayor has tried to find some way to spend a bunch of money at the airport but Landrieu broke the bank.
We will all pay higher fares as a result of this boondoggle as gate fees for the airlines will go up.
I hope Baton Rouge gets SWA.

It’s his cousin or his brother I believe.

She’s a lady woman and her business is a DBE.
The entire project has a mandated 30-something percent DBE quota.
LCCI is providing only a minority fraction of the concrete being supplied to the project.
Lafarge Ready Mix & Carlo Ditta are each supplying more to it.

Louisiana Concrete and Cement Industries was incorporated in 2014 according to the SOS website--they claim they were founded in 2012.
Mitch has been mayor since 2010.
They broke ground on the airport in 2016 after some months of planning.

The new 4 seasons? It is moving slow, but moving.

That is true--no need to do much work for the money.

They are tied up on that Bourbon Street redo.
I don't think it is political connections doing illegal stuff, they just have someone politically connected that is coaching them on how the rules work.

They (LCCI) are supplying the Econocrete for the project, it’s the layer between the soil-cement and the Heavy Duty Tarmac paving. It’s actually hard to do correctly because it has to meet both a minimum strength but also cannot exceed a maximum strength.

THat would be cool. Why haven't they been able to already?
