Erection of the building’s structural steel frame will continue at the tower’s 20th and 21st floors, with bolting and detailing ongoing on the 14th through 19th floors. Several tractor-trailers delivering structural steel are expected to be arriving and departing daily from gate #1 and gate #2, located at the east and west ends of the site along Commonwealth Avenue.
Installation of the building’s stairways will continue to follow the structural steel operation. “Stair B”, located north of the tower’s core, will continue through the 13th floor. Installation of “Stair C”, located at the east end of the podium, will continue through the 5th floor. Concrete placements of the stair treads will occur as the floors become available.
Final detailing, setting rebar, installing wire mesh, and sleeving for MEP penetrations will occur in advance of a concrete placement for the tower’s 14th and 15th floors.
Deliveries of the curtain wall for the podium will continue through the week, panel preassembly will continue on the floors before installing them in place.
In the tower’s subbasement and lower level, crews from the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractors will continue installing electrical wiring, hangers, piping, and equipment for the building systems. Partition drywall installation will continue.
On levels 2 through 8 of the tower, the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractors will continue installing electrical conduit, hangers, and piping, and will continue advancing wall layouts.
Crews will be applying a fireproof coating on the interior steel beams and columns for the tower’s 10th and 11th-floor framing (working from the 9th and 10th floors respectively) and a white fireproof coating on the exterior columns for the 3rd and 4th floors.
