Project Updates

---

Work will continue to take place on various levels inside the building on Saturdays for the foreseeable future, including this Saturday, March 8. Trucks will not be entering/exiting the Park Drive side of the site this Saturday, however, some work will be taking place down inside excavated area during standard work hours. The hoist will not be used on Saturday unless needed in the event of an emergency. 

Due to the location of some waterproofing work that needs to take place on the 6th floor of the new building, this work will need to take place after normal work hours. The contractor will be working in this location beginning on Monday, March 10, through Friday, March 21, between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Because of the type and location of this work, it is not expected that there will be any noticeable noise or disruption to our neighbors during this after-hours activity. 

The excavation work out in front of the building is complete, but work inside the excavated area will continue. Interior work is continuing on all levels of the building as well. 

The project team continues to try and expedite the completion of the new Beacon Street crosswalk at Miner Street. The crosswalk can move forward once Eversource makes its necessary electrical connections, after which the area will be restriped. The neighborhood’s ongoing patience with this project is appreciated.

As we have noted in our weekly updates over the last few weeks, the contractor will be bringing in a crane this weekend to hoist a generator onto the building’s roof. Because this is a sizeable undertaking that includes hours of crane assembly and disassembly, the crane sections will be arriving via Fullerton Street starting around 12 noon on Friday, February 21. Crews will be working through Friday evening and Saturday to place the generator on to the roof. During the hoist, the crane will be positioned in the northwest corner of the work site in front of the building’s loading dock. The goal is to have the crane disassembled and removed by around 9:00 p.m. on Saturday evening. If more work is required to remove the crane, work will resume on Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m. to move the crane off the job site. The project team appreciates the neighborhood’s patience with this critical piece of work.

Excavation work will continue on the Park Drive side of the new building for about two more weeks. Interior work is continuing on all levels of the building as well.

The after-hours saw cutting of an exterior building wall is targeted for completion this week. Work has been taking place from 5pm to 9pm.
