General Program Updates

In the month of December, the focus of construction remained on getting all footings and foundations poured for the perimeter of the building, along with the mechanical well. The design and management team have focused on reviewing and returning submittals, responding to RFIs, reviewing schedule updates and performing necessary site visits based on the construction schedule. 

December Activities

In December, a lot of the construction continued to center around the process of getting ready to pour and the pouring of concrete. KNCC spent some time re-organizing their pour schedule for production and efficiency, then followed that scheduled. This meant several crews working at once, doing different phases of concrete – rebar, forms, pouring, removing forms – as they work around the perimeter of the building.

This is a major step in preparing for the delivery of the metal building which occurred in mid-December. Along with the concrete, KNCC and HMK continued to meet with the project team – designers, subcontractors, etc. – to make sure that submittals were coming in, RFIs were being responded to, and the sub-contractors were ready for their work for building arrival. The whole project team also sat in on a natatorium pre-construction meeting to remind everyone of some important considerations throughout construction and gave the team an opportunity to flush out any questions regarding process.

Activities Scheduled For Next Period

In January, concrete will continue to be poured for footings around the building while stem walls are poured for the east side in preparation for building delivery midmonth. Once the building arrives, additional focus will be on making sure the inventory is correct and the building parts have a lay down yard where they can be organized in preparation of erection, which will start in February. The design team will continue to review submittals and respond to any RFIs that have come up, while HMK will continue to review schedules, manage consultants, and maintain budgets.

Highlights, Challenges, Solutions

HIGHLIGHTS:
Natatorium Pre-Construction!

CHALLENGE AND SOLUTIONS:
Winter Weather! The first snow occurred in December which didn’t hold up any work but served as a reminder that winter weather is coming. The contractor has utilized blankets to keep concrete warm, building a tent above the pump pit to maintain temperatures, and other various tools to make sure production can still occur while the weather worsens.
