The pattern concrete walkway, which requires multiple set-ups and pours, is about 80 percent complete. An asphalt patch back around the tree islands and perimeter will be complete by Friday.

Miscellaneous: Crews are in the finishing stages of the Livestock Restrooms with plumbing and underground drainage near the parking lot side of the new facilities. The repairs for the underground utilities in the Main Mall are in the clean-up stages and the remaining trenches will be filled soon. Crews expect to break ground on the Gate 4 ½ project, which will upgrade the vehicle entrance gate to be more similar to Gates 5 and 8 off Arlington Drive.

UPDATE FOR MARCH 18, 2010:

Hangar Building
Final touches for the new Hangar building are in the works with crews working on completion of the interior flooring and the asphalt surrounding the building. The 31,000-square-foot structure is the newest exhibit building at the OC Fair & Event Center offering an additional 23,000-square-foot exhibit space, meeting rooms, storage space and an exhibit show office under its 50-foot-tall arched ceiling.

Green Gate
OC Fair & Event Center crews have completed the underground utilities and are in the final phases of rough grading. Next, the contractor will resume the final grading and compacting before laying out and forming the patterned concrete surface.

Miscellaneous: With the drywall complete, OC Fair & Event Center crews are painting the interior wall surfaces of the new, permanent restrooms in the Livestock Area. Next, crews will install the stainless steel wainscoat paneling and porcelain floor. On the exterior, crews are installing block veneer and color coating the stucco finish.
