Trench Backfilling and Fuel Pump Room

Installation of the underground fuel lines from the tanks to the Fuel Pump Room is now complete and backfilling of trenches is underway. Crews are also continuing to install reinforcing and place concrete in the Fuel Pump room and the concrete floor will be installed early next week.

Demolition of the two story portion of the South Building continues. 

All of these activities are expected to create typical levels of construction noise and truck traffic.

Tower Crane Foundation Installation

Installation of reinforcing for the Tower Crane foundation is underway. A small crane will be setting the anchors for the Tower Crane, then construction of the concrete pad will follow.

Fuel Pump Room concrete work is underway along the south side of the existing South Addition. Crews continue with forming, installing reinforcing and placing concrete at these locations.

Excavation and installation of the underground fuel lines from the tanks to the Fuel Oil Pump Room are underway and anticipated to continue through next week.

Installation of reinforcement for the Tower Crane foundation is also underway. All of these activities are expected to create normal levels of construction noise.

Concrete Base Construction

Excavation and installation of shoring for the tower crane concrete base is complete.  Micropiles for the foundation have been drilled into place and shoring attached. Installation of reinforcing and anchors will begin next week. A small crane will be setting the anchors in place on March 16, before placement of the concrete pad. Noise from this is expected to be minimal and include engine noises, back up alarms, and heavy equipment tracking around the site.

The Fuel Oil Pump Room concrete work is underway along the south side of the existing South Addition. The Fuel Oil Pump Room is scheduled to be complete and operational by the end of February, early March. Crews continue with forming, installing reinforcing and placing concrete at these locations.

Shoring Tomorrow

Sheet shoring panels did not occur on Monday and Tuesday as stated in the last blog post due to unforeseen construction issues, so the work has been rescheduled for tomorrow. The shoring will be done starting at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning and is expected to be finished by the end of the day. As with the previous removals of these shoring panels, there will be loud banging heard as they pull the panels from the ground and possible vibration.
