CILSE – Construction Activity – Week of October 18, 2015
This past week the project team implemented a new approach to the structural steel frame installation. A mid-sized hydraulic is being used to install steel on the east side of the site. The large crawler crane has been rescheduled to mobilize the end of next week. Next week we will continue to install the ground floor slab with an anticipated completion date near the end of October. Please be aware that there will be an increased amount of truck traffic during the morning hours next week. Safety continues to be a main focus of the entire project team. Please continue to follow the path identified by construction barricades and signs and be ready to take direction from police officers and project staff when necessary.
