Thread: Steelyard

    Default Re: Steelyard

    How the heck do you build a brick drainage pipe? Does it start with a temporary form like you do with an arch?

  2. Default Re: Steelyard

    That would be my guess. However it's done, that was the state of the art for a couple of thousand years. If you looked some existing sewers in Paris or Rome, they look exactly like that. It's only been within the past 50-75 that reinforced concrete became the norm.

    They probably used the same engineering as the Romans when they built large unsupported arches: Forms to hold up the arch until the final keystone (#1 below; the stone/brick at the very top) is set into place, then the weight of the arches actually converge on that one point and hold everything up.

    I asked this once but don't recall the answer if there was one, is this an old creek that was piped and covered?

    All of the small to medium size.

    And all about $250-$275 per square foot.
    Pete - which projects are you referring to here if you don't mind listing them? Thanks.

    Probably not, the original streams in the area meandered all over the place, that pipe & reinforcement were pretty strait for a good distance. They already had decent techniques to dig ditches by the time OKC was founded

    That is what I am wondering though, did they take a meandering creek, place it in a pipe, and bury it when this area started being settled. Wish there were some old maps of the river and stream network in OKC prior to development.

    Doug has an old map with the original river course on his blog

    I probably just need to find an old topographical map. Many of the streams around OKC were piped and buried. I would like to see them be daylighted when new construction takes place (too late for this development). If I recall correctly, I think I once counted 17 tributaries to the North Canadian River in OKC where this was done.

    How close is this project to (a) going vertical and (b) reopening Sheridan? Will the sidewalks be built with a Project 180 model?

  13. #838

    Default Re: Steelyard

    ^

    Not Project 180 design but similar. Whole street in that area will be completely re-worked.

    They are just now starting on the Steelyard. Everything to date has been utilities and street.

    This is going to take a while.

    The intersection at Sheridan and Joe Carter is wrapping up (from https://twitter.com/dtOKCbuilds):

    Those crosswalk sidewalks look very walkable & ADA compliant!

    And I LOVE the pedestrian bumpouts. They honestly should be a bit bigger though considering how many walkers will soon be walking around here.

    No, not me. I just know the peeps who do and send photos every once in a while. And oops, that (just joking) copyright statement was supposed to use my OKCTalk handle, not my social media handle.

    So nice to see. I was getting kinda sick of that intersection being closed.

  22. Default Re: Steelyard

    Drove through a couple of times today. I suspect it will get a more permanent resurfacing of some sort after construction is finished or near to. Joe Carter is still a massive hole; there are just a couple of open lanes of Sheridan right now.
