• Continue storm sewer site work.
• Complete excavation for utilidor.
• Begin forming pile caps & installing, reinforcing & placing concrete for utilidor (utility tunnel for electrical systems).
• Continue drilling “micro” piles in east section:
  • Equipment noise & diesel fumes.
  • Noise will be similar or less in intensity as previous demolition noise.

Construction  activities for the week of Dec. 13:

• Continue demolition of 70’s building.
• Continue forming pile caps & installing, reinforcing & placing concrete for utilidor (utility tunnel for electrical systems).
