Q3 2024 Project Update

Anaheim Tower First Floor Life/Safety Renovation

Waterproofing and backfilling at the first and second areas of the west elevation retaining wall have been completed. Crews addressed waterproofing in the final area in mid-October, followed by backfilling activities in the fourth week of the month. Upon conclusion of these tasks, work at the west elevation will be done.

Concrete pours have been finished for the sidewalks and perimeter planters around the tower on the parking deck.

A protection board was placed over the waterproofing layer on the parking deck prior to the start of asphalt laying to establish a driving surface. Asphalt activities took place over two weekends on September 26-27 and October 4-5 to best manage the parking deck’s weight limitations. The asphalt was delivered to a staging location and dropped off on the deck using lighter equipment. Crews then paved the surface. Following a curing period, the finished surface will be sealed, traffic coats will be applied, parking stalls will be striped, and directional signage will be installed.

Crews placed metal decking for the former flower beds along the four corners and perimeter of the parking deck. Roofing placement activities took place between early and mid-October.

On the interior, the classrooms, offices, and print shop were repaired and painted in the third week of September.

Framing, underground, inwall and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) were completed for the all-gender restroom. The drywall installation and finishes were completed. Tiling and painting were addressed in October along with the remaining patchwork for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-accessible stalls in the men's and women's restroom.

Contractor demobilization activities began in early November. The Design and Owner Teams will perform a site walk to develop the punch-list. Final inspections and substantial completion are anticipated by the end of November.
