2nd Fuel Tank Installation Begins

The first of two underground fuel tanks was set in place this week. Crews have started work for the installation of the second fuel tank (which will be located where the green X is on the blog photo). The 2^nd tank is anticipated to be delivered on December 18. The crane used to unload the tank will access the site from Mt. Vernon while the tank itself will be delivered via South Avenue.  Dump truck traffic, delivery trucks and dumpster deliveries and removals continue to utilize the South Access Drive off South Avenue with no deliveries before 7 a.m. in accordance with the City of Rochester noise ordinance.

No work is scheduled for Christmas Day or New Year’s Day.

Delivery of Trailer At Emergency Entrance

A trailer will be delivered on Thursday 12/3 to the Emergency Entrance parking lot. The 12 ft. x 60 ft. trailer will provide additional space for patients with non-critical emergency visits, supporting the hospital’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be located to the left of the Emergency Entrance door.

Also, DDS trucks will be parked on some area side streets over the next few days as Spectrum installs a new fiber line to the hospital.

Work Begins on Fuel Tank Installation

Site work has resumed starting with excavation for the shoring and fuel tanks which will take place over the 2 weeks. A new pipeline is also being installed during this time. Both projects are expected to create noise of debris dumping and back up trucks. There is also the potential for some minor vibration. There will be no work on Thanksgiving Day.

Due to the location of the fuel tank installation, crews will need to use the Mt. Vernon Ave. site access as the main entrance for deliveries to and from the site for about two weeks. Trucks using this route will drive from the Mt. Vernon access point down to Rockingham and through to South Ave. and will return using the same route.

Lift in Mt. Vernon Ave. Cut Out

A lift will be parked in the Mt. Vernon Ave. cut out from Wednesday 11/18 until Friday 11/20 as crews work to repair some masonry on that side of the hospital. Traffic will not be impacted but some back up truck noise and other construction noise can be expected from this activity during regular business hours.

Exterior Work Resumes Next Week

Site work will resume the week of November 16^th starting with excavation and installation of shoring for the fuel tanks. All project related delivery trucks and dumpster deliveries and removals will use the South Access Drive off South Avenue. Normal levels of truck noise can be expected during this time.
