I keep reading it was some new construction technology that was moved into place as a unit, which makes construction much faster. Maybe they didn't

know what they were doing? We use design/build a lot now and there are always more problems with it than when we designed the entire project and then started building it.

IIRC that's how they build a lot of freeway stuff, preform, internal cables to stress it, move it into place over night. -- nm - Guinnezz Mar 16, 10:32
LYC, here is a great video on accelerated precast construction. Not sure if this was used at this site or not. -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 16, 10:12 [youtube]
