Bill Barritt, Project Manager – Construction Update – November 2, 2009
The concrete floor for the new addition was poured during the week of October 26th and is now curing.
The Hospital structure has really taken shape over the last 6-8 weeks. The structural steel is in place except for the miscellaneous handrails and lintels for the masonry work. The block work on the new ambulance garage was completed during the week of October 26th. The masonry crew is now working on the elevator shaft and the stairwell in the new basement. Also during the last week of October, framers began working on the parapet wall on the roof frame. Once they complete the parapet, the roof will be finished. The roofing material is scheduled to arrive the week of November 2nd with installation beginning the next day. We anticipate having the roofing complete in the next two weeks.
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing work has begun. By the middle of December the interior walls of the new hospital wing will be framed.
West of the project, grading work for the new parking lot has begun and will be followed by concrete work. We anticipate completing and turning the parking lot over by mid November, if the weather cooperates.
