Future works for March
GSHP:- The pipes that were sunk at the start of the project continue to be cropped and joined to header connection pipes that will terminate in access ducts in the plant rooms. The works are now focused in the last areas onsite working towards the corner of the central area. This is expected to be complete in the next 2 weeks.
Drainage & Basement Slab:- The more complex basement pours (3A) adjacent to the lower plantroom in the south have been largely poured. It is targeted to have all the south basement complete by the beginning of March.
Steel Beams & Columns:- Holding down bolts are fixed accurately to the formwork / reinforcement in order that steel I beams and columns can be bolted to the structure after the slab is poured. The steel column and beams are expected to be onsite week commencing 5/3/2012.
Plant Room & Services:- The service trenches to the centre have largely been excavated now that the bulk dig removal has finished. The lower level plant room walls in the south have been formed with steel reinforcement in readiness for a concrete pour.
Mezzanine Floor:- Pour No 8 on the mezzanine level of the north has been poured and core 1 twin walls have been erected. The formwork has also started on the south in one corner.
