learning about others and ourselves

Beedie Group Field Trip Reflection

Posted on 4 May, 2017 by milloyd

My class had a special opertunity to go to one of the Beedie Group’s construction sites. We got to see one of the buildings that was almost complete.

We learned that they had to make the floor of the building completly flat. If there was a spot on the floor that was off, the difference would only be the thickness of half a piece of paper! I also learned that they have to use a speicial sand procedure to wiegh and pack down the ground. They had to create the exact wieght of the building that they were going to build using the sand so that in the future the ground can hold up the building.

After we were finished going around the construction site we went to one of the Beedie Group’s office building’s and got free pizza! Overall I had a good time and learned more about construction.

During our visit on our field trip to the Beedie Group construction we got to see a new building that was about to get ready and got to learn how long they at least take thirteen months for the building they were building. It was a very large building so they were going to finish it in a anther three months.they were working in the construction in Delta.They had started the building in 2016 June and was going to finish it in 2017 June.I also learned that Mr. Beedie started the company in 1954 so now Mr. Beedie is at least in his 90’s.We also went to the Beedie Group’s office and also had lunch there pizza.
