CILSE – Construction Activity – Week of 3/13/16
For the week of March 13, 2016:
Starting Monday (3/14/16), Turner will begin installing the underground electrical vault on the west side of the site. Currently the site fence is right on the edge of the excavation. Turner will be temporarily relocating the site fence in that area a few feet west, approximately 6 to 7 feet. The fence will remain in this position until Friday, March 25, when it will be returned its current location.
The project team will continue removing winter weather protection next week. Concrete pours are scheduled for remaining 1st floor areas.
Exterior curtain wall work will continue on the north elevation on floors 4 through 6 and work will begin on the west elevation.
Electrical rooms, data rooms, and emergency electrical rooms are being built from the 2nd floor up to the 7th floor. Interior wall framing will continue on floors 2 through 6 and layout will take place on the 7th and 8th floors. Installation of elevator tube steel will continue. Exterior wall framing will continue on the south elevation to the 9th floor. The third and final mast climber will be installed on the south elevation.
Installation of spray-on fire proofing will take place on the 8th and 9th floors and perimeter areas. Installation of mechanical duct and piping above the ceiling will take place on floors 2 through 6.
New activities this week include installation of the air vapor barrier on the south elevation, fire stop between the curtain wall, and concrete slab on deck.
Police details will continue to man the construction gates along Commonwealth Avenue to ensure public safety. The safety of our community is our highest priority, so we ask that you please pay close attention to posted signs, police, and safety personnel.
The construction team holds regularly scheduled communication meetings that are open to the University community. These meetings are held at 602 Commonwealth Avenue (Morse Auditorium) either in the project site office in the basement or the auditorium. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, March 24th at 10 a.m. in Morse Auditorium.
