During the weekend of June 12th
On Saturday, crews will be on site continuing to erect structural steel columns and beams. This work will occur in two shifts, the first from 7 am to 3 pm and the second from 3 pm to 10 pm.
On Sunday, workers will be on site installing mast sections for the temporary construction hoist within the tower’s concrete core from the 8th to the 15th floor. This work will occur between 7 am and 6 pm and will involve the tower crane.
During the week of June 14th
The erection of the building’s structural steel frame will continue. Inside the tower’s core, the installation of steel beams and decking will advance. This work will also be occurring daily during a second shift from 3 pm to 10 pm. Two to six tractor trailers delivering structural steel are expected to be arriving and departing from the site throughout the two shifts daily.
In the tower’s subbasement, crews from the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) subcontractors will continue installing conduit, wire, hangers, and piping for their respective systems.
In the alley behind the Bay State Road brownstones (units #176, #178, #180, #182, and #184), trenching will continue to install piping circuit for geothermal wells #14, #15, #16, and #17 to each other and back to the system’s manifold in the basement. Please be aware of all directional signage in the area.
Following the completion of geothermal work behind the Bay State Road brownstones, a drain line will be installed to connect each of the brownstone’s downspouts to the city’s storm drainage system. The exterior egress path from the rear of the brownstones will be impacted temporarily during the day while this activity takes place. The egress path will be restored to a safe and passable condition at the end of each day.
The installation of “Stair A” from the subbasement to the ground floor in the tower’s core will continue. This installation will continue as the floor levels are completed and will connect from the subbasement to the 20th floor.
In the tower’s subbasement, crews will begin installing Geofoam blocks, which will act as lightweight fill material to support the concrete topping slab. This slab is scheduled to be placed at the end of the week.
In addition to the deliveries noted above, other trucking activity to and from the site will be occurring daily. Trucks will be entering and exiting the designated gates.
Please be aware of all directional signage, as pedestrian travel paths may be altered. We will continue to provide up-to-date information via these notifications.
