Hellas Construction Awarded Track & Football Field Project
The School Board approved Hellas Construction, Inc. of Austin, TX, as the General Contactor for the Track and Football Field project on July 7th. A pre-construction meeting was held earlier in the day to discuss the pros and cons of going ahead with the project in 2015 as planned.
After much discussion the consensus was to delay construction until Spring 2016. All agreed it was better to do the project right than risk its integrity by rushing.
Hellas estimates the project will take 100-120 days after allowing for probable weather delays. Postponing until 2016 ensures the football field sod will be fully established before use and the total project will be worthy of its investment.
Hellas will provide all construction services except the asphalt paving. The firm will also install its own synthetic running surface on the track. It specializes in manufacturing sport surfaces and has put in many thousands of fields, tracks and courts across the country.
