Q1 2024 Project Update
Chapman / Newell Instructional Building
Rain delays have significantly impacted the project, which has resulted in approximately 29 weather days; this amount exceeds the total number of weather-related delays factored into the baseline schedule. The Design-Builder assessed solutions to address the potential delays posed to the project schedule as it is on the critical path.
Concrete pours were completed for the remaining grade beams and elevator pit at the project site ahead of the storm's impact in the last weekend of March. Wood formwork was placed before the concrete pour for the slab-on-grade. Excavation activities were underway in the second week of April for plumbing and electrical conduits below the structure. By mid-April, underground utilities placement below the slab-on-grade neared completion. Testing has been conducted to ensure connections are compliant with code requirements. Back-fill activities will ensue upon completion followed by concrete pours in the last week of April.
