Weekend Ramp Demolition and Roof Work

Demolition of the ramp slab continues on week days after 1 p.m. until dusk and on weekends starting at 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. Some of this demolition work may require some jack hammering of foundations if they cannot be detached by saw cutting. This work may result in increased noise from the construction site.

Due to the schedule change to the demolition, micropile installation will resume in early June and will continue for approximately 3 week.

South Building roofing work is scheduled to start the week of May 17^th and will last approximately 9 weeks. This work will include tear-off of the existing roof, installation of a new roof and installation of new HVAC equipment.  It will require cranes for rigging materials and equipment to the roof.  These will be staged in the Mt. Vernon cut out and will necessitate partial temporary road and sidewalk closures along Mt. Vernon. A flagger will be used during deliveries that could impact travel flow. The odor of melting tar can be expected from these activities.

Typical levels of construction noise and vibrations are expected with all of these activities. For the micropile and deep foundation work, any possible vibrations will be monitored by a third party testing agency.

Ramp Demolition Weekends and Evenings

Starting Monday, May 10^th, selective demolition of the ramp slab and foundations will be occurring on weekdays after 1 p.m. until dusk and on weekends from 7a.m. until 5 p.m. both Saturdays and Sundays.  This schedule will be in effect from the 10^th through May 23^rd, when the majority of demolition work should be complete.  Any remaining demolition in this area will then be finished on the weekends to minimize impact on patient care.

Due to the schedule change to the demolition, micropile installation will resume in early June and will continue for approximately 3 weeks.

Ramp Demolition and Generator Testing

As stated in the previous post, demolition of the ramp slab and foundations will be occurring this weekend on Saturday and Sunday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Due to the schedule change for the demolition, micropile installation is expected to resume in mid-June and will continue for approximately three weeks.

Typical levels of construction noise and vibrations are expected with all of these activities. For the micropile and deep foundation work, any possible vibrations will be monitored by a third party testing agency.

Annual generator testing will also take place this weekend between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday. A load bank (the size of a small truck) will be parked on the construction site close to the building, and will be used to test the generators. The sound created will be about the level of a small engine.

Weekend Work Starting Saturday and Sunday

The ramp slab demolition previously scheduled to be done on weekdays will be moving to weekends effective Saturday, May 1. The work will be done between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and is expected for next six weekends. This work was moved to weekends due to its proximity to the Operating Rooms and potential impact on patient care.

Ramp Demolition On Hold

The demolition of the ramp slab has been temporarily halted. Once demolition resumes, there will be approximately two more weeks of demolition.

Micropile installation will resume at the end of April and will continue for approximately three weeks. Deep foundation, pile cap and grade beam installation will start following the completion of the micropile installation.

Typical levels of construction noise and vibrations are expected with all of these activities. For the micropile and deep foundation work, any possible vibrations will be monitored by a third party testing agency.
