CONSTRUCTION UPDATE – APRIL 2024
As we move into April, we’re pleased to report continued significant progress on the basement levels of our apartment development project. Each milestone brings us closer to our vision, and we’re excited to share the latest updates from the site:
Progress Highlights
1. Pile Anchor Installation Completed
The installation of pile anchors has now been completed. This crucial step enhances the stability and support of the foundation, ensuring that the structure can withstand various loads and environmental factors as we progress with the construction of the double basement.
2. Pile Trimming Completed
We have successfully completed the pile-trimming process. This involved cutting the piles to the required height, ensuring they are ready for the installation of the capping beam and subsequent structural elements. This task is vital for achieving the necessary alignment and load distribution.
3. Shotcrete of Upper Basement Walls Completed
The shotcrete application for the upper basement walls has been finished. Shotcrete is a method of applying concrete through a hose at high velocity, allowing for a smooth, reinforced surface. This technique enhances the walls’ strength and durability, providing a solid framework for the basement levels of the building.
4. Bulk Excavation of Lower Basement Level Commenced
We’re excited to announce that bulk excavation for the lower basement level has now commenced. This step involves removing earth and other materials to create additional space for the basement, further expanding the footprint of the building. The excavation is being carried out methodically to ensure safety and stability throughout the process with the pile anchors installed above allowing for full excavation of the lower basement level in a safe manner.
5. Cleaning Piles after Excavation
As excavation work progresses, we are continuing to clean the piles after excavation. This cleaning ensures that the piles remain in optimal condition and free from debris, maintaining their integrity as we prepare for the further application of shotcrete to the lower basement level.
What’s Next:
As we move forward, our focus will be on completing the bulk excavation of the lower basement level and preparing for the next stages of structural work. Each step brings us closer to erecting the main structure of the building, and we’re excited about the progress we’re making.
We’ll keep you updated as we reach new milestones in the coming months. If you have any questions or would like more information, please get in touch!
