By: Ken Potter, REVOLUTION Construction Manager
Fall is here – it is a beautiful cool evening here! It has been raining almost regularly in the afternoons, as I mentioned in an earlier post this has been nice for cooler evenings but has caused some issues with progress at the job.
Below is a video showing the work we completed last week on 76 columns. These were “integral” columns meaning they were to be part of a wall. The concrete not only creates the column but also locks the adjacent walls to the column making for a very strong entity. We are beginning work on installing the water supply lines now that all drain lines are in place. We will also get any electrical conduits that need to run into the roof slab installed so we can begin forming the beams that lock the tops of the walls together and span doorways, etc.
The Tour is Coming THIS MONTH!
