Wales are steel beams that are attached horizontally to the SOE sheets, to provide rigidity and an attachment point for the cross-lot braces.<\/li>\n<li>Following the installation of the helical piles for the bike shelter, crews will focus on installing rebar at the ground level to form the concrete foundation pad.<\/li>\n<li>The installation of the electrical and telecommunications duct bank and site drainage infrastructure will occur at the east edge of the site, between the new building and Sargent College.<\/li>\n<li>Horizontal piping will be installed, connecting geothermal wells 4, 5, and 6 to each other before connecting to the building&#8217;s manifold.<\/li>\n<li>The installation of the duct tunnel will continue in the podium and work towards the tower. A duct tunnel consists of ductwork encased in concrete (forming the tunnel) below the finish slab in the basement. Once the duct tunnel is installed, the finish slab will be installed on top. Preparations will continue for the installation of under-slab ductwork including formwork, reinforcing, and concrete.<\/li>\n<li>Rebar and formwork installation will continue at the exterior foundation walls and the core for the tower. Concrete placements of these areas will continue in sections as the rebar installation progresses.<\/li>\n<li>Please be aware of all directional signage, as pedestrian travel paths may be altered. We will continue to provide you with up-to-date information via these notifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment22241\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment22241\" style=\"width: 599px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Installing-rebar-at-the-Towers-core-and-Tower-Foundation-wall-prior-to-concrete-placement-636x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"589\" height=\"339\" class=\" wp-image-22241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Installing-rebar-at-the-Towers-core-and-Tower-Foundation-wall-prior-to-concrete-placement-636x366.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Installing-rebar-at-the-Towers-core-and-Tower-Foundation-wall-prior-to-concrete-placement-1024x590.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Installing-rebar-at-the-Towers-core-and-Tower-Foundation-wall-prior-to-concrete-placement-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Installing-rebar-at-the-Towers-core-and-Tower-Foundation-wall-prior-to-concrete-placement-1536x885.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Installing-rebar-at-the-Towers-core-and-Tower-Foundation-wall-prior-to-concrete-placement-2048x1180.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment22241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Installing rebar at the tower&#8217;s core and tower foundation wall prior to concrete placement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment22240\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment22240\" style=\"width: 599px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Geothermal-Well-Installation-477x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"589\" height=\"785\" class=\" wp-image-22240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Geothermal-Well-Installation-477x636.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Geothermal-Well-Installation-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Geothermal-Well-Installation-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Geothermal-Well-Installation-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/files\/2021\/01\/Geothermal-Well-Installation-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment22240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Geothermal well installation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the weekend of January 23rd Crews will be on site Saturday to continue to install rebar and formwork at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15785,"featured_media":22241,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4079,736],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22219"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15785"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22219"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22246,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22219\/revisions\/22246"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cpo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
