Hillside Construction - September 2003

Through September 25
Work on the west wing in-floor radiant heat pipes continues. About one-half is ready for the first slab pour that will place on Sept. 26. The rest will be ready the week of Sept. 29. Some of the concrete block work has started in the east wing. Pre-cast is being set in the gym and mechanical areas. However, pre-cast erection has not hit full stride due to slow delivery of the steel that ties the pre-cast together. Steel for the center section is now scheduled to be delivered the week of Sept. 29. A double crew is expected to start in early October and will accelerate the pre-cast erection. The majority of the parking lot has been paved. Approvals have been received now for the Eighth Street widening and the contractor is pricing the changes that have been required by the City to the original plan. The approaches to Walnut Creek are scheduled to be placed early the week of Sept. 29.

Through September 18
The majority of the north parking lot has been paved. Due to a permit issue, the paving of the Eighth Street widening was delayed. The City has now approved the work and it will begin next week, as well at the approaches into Walnut Creek. The east wing in-floor radiant heat pipes have been installed, completing that slab. Work on the west wing pipes has begun and the first slab pour will happen next week. It should be completed by the end of the month. Pre-cast is being set in selected locations, but is delayed due to steel delivery. Steel for the center wing is scheduled for next week and will allow for a faster pace on the erection of pre-cast. The steel erector will have a double crew the week of Sept. 29 to speed up the process. The storm sewer has been connected to the Eighth Street one and the water connection should be complete in the next few days. Virtually all of the underslab utility work is complete.

Through September 4
A portion of the north parking lot has been paved and another concrete pour is scheduled for Sept. 5. The section of Eighth Street that was widened is nearly ready to be paved. It should be completed early next week. The Walnut Creek parking lot has been paved and a power pole has been moved, so the approaches and curbs will be completed in the next few days. The helical piles have been completed. This was necessary to deal with the rubble found in the southwest. The footings in this area should be completed later this week. Radiant heat pipes are being installed in the east wing to prepare for the floor slabs. Erection of pre-cast and steel is scheduled to start next week and a second erection crew is anticipated to be on site in mid-September. Most of the site utilities are now in place.
