Wilshire Elementary construction underway; utilities and piling progress reported
Summary
A brief HURST-EULESS-BEDFORD ISD bond update says construction at Wilshire Elementary began Oct. 8. Crews are installing water and sewer lines and pile driving for a new classroom wing is in progress; the building is scheduled for completion in December 2026.
Hayden Vista, a bond update host, said construction at Wilshire Elementary began on Oct. 8 and crews are actively working on site. "We are learning about Wilshire Elementary where construction began on October 8," Vista said in a short video update.
The update focused on site preparation and foundation work. "We are starting at the Northwest Corner, the future home of Wilshire's new kitchen," Vista said, and described a trench where "crews are installing underground utilities, things like water and sewer lines." The report also noted pile-driving progress for a new classroom wing: "The drill over here is finishing its last 116 piles out of 404 for the new classroom wing," Vista said, adding that "each pile goes 36 feet into the ground."
The host acknowledged on-site conditions but said work continued despite weather. "It's muddy, but rain doesn't stop construction," Vista said. The update concluded with a schedule for completion: "The new building is scheduled for completion in December 2026."
The segment was a brief progress report rather than a formal meeting or decision point; no votes or motions were recorded in the transcript. The update supplies progress metrics (pile counts and depth, utility installation) and a target completion date that stakeholders and district officials can use to track the bond-funded project.
The video closed with hosts thanking viewers and signing off. "Thanks for watching this Bond update in about 30 seconds," Vista said.
