Work on Saturday 2/26/22

Crews will be on site Saturday 2/26 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. installing fire proofing in the new tower.

During the week, the tower crane will be in operation with roofing and other activities on site. The 7th floor concrete slab installation is tentatively scheduled for Monday, February 28th starting at 7 a.m. Stair risers are being filled with concrete for easier access is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, March 2nd starting at 7 a.m. The 8th floor concrete slab installation is tentatively scheduled for Friday, March 4th starting at 7 a.m. All concrete finishing has the potential to run late into the night, but will not go past the City of Rochester noise ordinance of 10 p.m.

Mechanical hangers are being installed on the 8^th floors new decks for future installation of the mechanical piping. New tower 7^th and 8^th floor temporary roofing/vapor barrier is expected to be installed (weather dependent activity). Interior and exterior framing will start on the 1^st and 2^nd floors.

Please keep in mind that for the stair risers and the 8^th floor concrete pour, crews anticipate having the concrete pump on the South side of the new tower (engine running the during the entire pour), 2 concrete trucks rotating in and out at the concrete pump (engines running), 1 concrete truck washing out (engine running) and one staging on the hospital side of Bellevue Drive in front of the LeChase trailers.  Sometimes due to traffic and how the pour is going, crews may end up with 2 trucks staging on Bellevue Drive for a short period of time. Crews will be in constant communication with the batch plant adjusting truck spacing depending on how the pour is progressing.

A flag person will be at the South Avenue entrance backing in the concrete trucks and prioritizing ambulance access.

Typical levels of construction noise and vibrations are expected with all of these activities. For the deep foundation work, any possible vibrations will be monitored by a third party testing agency.
