Carver construction: Gyms continue to be demolished this week
Carver construction activities for week of Oct. 25:
- Continue demolition of gymnasiums A, C and D.
- Demolition (cutting) of the oak flooring in the weight room; this may create non-hazardous odors and smoke on the west side of Carver.
- Continue grading and filling central corridor.
- Continue storm sewer site work:
- Excavate trench for pipe
- Remove excavated material (dump trucks in use from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
- Accept deliveries of gravel fill
- Continued noise, dust, truck traffic and vibrations.
Next week’s activities:
- Complete demolition of Gym C.
- Continue demolition of gyms A and D.
- Complete grading and filling of central corridor.
- Continue storm sewer site work.
- Other activities that create noise, dust, truck traffic and vibrations.
- Begin testing drilled piles and first phase of piling.
- Drilled piles (auger cast piles) do not generate the loud hammering, vibrating energy that driven piling generates. Noise will be similar in intensity to previous demolition noise.
- Twenty percent of piling will involve short pin-driven piling that will create noise similar to the concrete breaking equipment noise experienced during demolition.
- First phase of piling scheduled to be complete late December/early January.
- Second phase of piling scheduled to begin early February and be complete in mid-March.
