Last Few Steps
Mar 2nd, 2012 by Matteo Agnoloni
Over the reading break, we split up into three groups of two, designating sections of the Sustainable Sites Initiative to each group. We also contacted a civil engineer from Stantec who had AutoCAD drawings of the site. He was able to give us these drawings, which helped up greatly in some of our calculations. The AutoCAD drawings can be seen below.
By the end of the reading break, we were able to finish up the specific parts of the SSI. We found that while working on this project and trying to figure out the needed calculations, a lot of estimations and assumptions had to be made, as we did not have some of the needed expertise and knowledge. Nonetheless, we completed the needed sections of the SSI to the best of our knowledge and with great help from Dean Gregory. It was great that he could meet with us two times as we are all sure that he is extremely busy. Right now, we are just working on compiling all the different pieces of the project into a portfolio, which we will submit on Monday. In our portfolio, we will be including notes, assumptions, estimations, calculations, construction documents, and all other relative information that we used to come to our conclusions. Once the portfolio is all put together, I will make a final post regarding the results of the project. Stay tuned for the results!
