Saturday Work 8/14

Crews will be on site this Saturday 8/14, stripping foundation walls and drilling brackets into the existing foundation walls in the area between the old south building and the newer south addition from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. An all-terrain fork lift will be running, but there will be no tower crane operations.
 
Deep foundation, pile cap and grade beam installation is ongoing and will continue for approximately two more weeks. Excavation and grading work are happening at the same time as the deep foundation installations.

The tower crane will be lifting stub columns onto the second and third floor roofs.

The week of August 16, micropile installation will resume for a week or so to compete the balance of the piles. Higher levels of vibrations could occur with these activities. These vibration levels will be monitored by a third party testing agency.

Typical levels of construction noise are expected with all of these activities.
