Construction update #2 is below. Please see the summary and pictures at the
bottom of this post!
SITE WORK:
Mass grading work has continued to progress and is 90%
complete. Excavation and shaping of detention ponds has been completed, the
building pad is currently at sub-grade and interior drives and parking bays are
approximately 90% to sub-grade. As part of the grading process, construction of
retaining walls is required to achieve final grade. Retaining wall construction
is 75% complete. The MSE/Gabion retaining wall within the primary detention
pond has been completed and the gravity wall along the north side of the
property is 40% complete with work in progress. It appears that most of the
material for the gravity wall is currently on site.
Construction of site infrastructure improvements 90%
complete. Installation of sanitary sewer main, outfall and service laterals is complete
and tie-in of the on-site sewer to the municipal main has been completed.
Additionally, installation of the primary storm drainage system is now 95%
complete. The majority of on-site storm drainage is now in place, with pre-cast
inlet basins and piping installed within the interior areas of the site and
piped to the on-site detention basins. Installation of the drainage along the
east property line, where the main entrance from Oakland Park Boulevard is located
is also now mostly complete. Installation of the water distribution system has
commenced within the past period and water distribution work is 85-90%
complete. The fire main has been extended through the site with fire hydrant
assemblies and the service to the building structure in place. Domestic water
distribution has also been extended to the building pad.
STRUCTURES:
Construction of the building structure has continued to
progress. Under-slab plumbing work is 95% complete and material for the
under-slab electrical requirements was noted to be on site. Overall, plumbing
work is 20% complete and electrical work is 5% complete. In addition to the
under-slab piping, construction of both elevator pits has been completed and
the foundation wall along the west end of the building has recently been
completed. Backfilling of the elevator pits was in progress at the time of our
site visit. Concrete work is around 15% complete.
We want to ensure the community stays up to date with the
