Future works for March
GSHP:- These works are virtually complete, the next visit will be for works within the plant rooms when they are built.
Drainage & Basement Slab:- Now that the centre area below slabs works are nearing completion the basement slab can progress towards the NW corner. It is targeted to have all the south basement complete by the beginning of March.
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 and are progressively being concreted in readiness for the top overslab.
Mezzanine Floor:- Pour No 10 on the mezzanine level of the north was poured on 8/3/2012 using a concrete pump to deliver the mix to the required area. The pour consists of 270m3 of premixed concrete which means the average discharge of one lorry every 12 minutes.
Ground Floor:- The first ground floor slab is expected to be poured in mid March in the North. The temporary large yellow props spanning across the site will progressively be removed as mezzanine concrete slabs gain strength.
