General Program Updates

In the month of November, the focus of construction moved from preparation of footings with rebar in forms, to pouring concrete on the east side of the building.

Simultaneously, footing and forms continued along the east side of the building. As far as management of the project goes, the focus was making sure that all deductions and additions to the GMP contract were finalized.

November Activities

Most November activities for the actual construction of the building centered around pouring concrete, which commenced on the 7th of the month. This is a major step in preparing for the delivery of the metal building 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 subcontractors were ready for their work for building arrival.

Activities Scheduled For Next Period

In December, concrete will continue to be poured for footings around the building while stem walls are poured for the east side of the building in preparation for building delivery mid-month. Once the building arrives, the focus will be to start erecting the natatorium. The project team will hold a natatorium pre-construction meeting with all contractors, sub-contractors, design team members, and owner consultants to make sure everyone understands the next steps and any questions get answered before vertical construction.

Highlights, Challenges, Solutions

HIGHLIGHTS:
Concrete pours!

CHALLENGE AND SOLUTIONS:
Concrete became a challenge as the local suppliers changed the type of cement used in their mixes shortly before the concrete submittal period. The reasoning this was challenging was because there was insufficient data to meet project specifications. This
solution to this was a lot of conversations with the design team, concrete supplier, and general contractor to guarantee the mix design will meet the correct specification. Fortunately, it all worked out in the end!
