Q2 2024 Project Update
Anaheim Campus Tower First Floor Life/Safety Renovation
Crews completed demolition activities in Area 1 on June 19, consisting of the driving ramp and north-facing parking deck. Reinforcement bar dowels were set in place, followed by clean-up activities prior to pouring the concrete topping slab on June 28.
Waterproofing in Area 2 began on June 18 following the conclusion of the same activities in Area 3. SIKA fast curing mortar products have been set in place around drainage points and add-mixtures have been added to the concrete mix to quicken the pace of curing and facilitate the addition of the waterproofing layer earlier than originally anticipated. Asphalt laying will be addressed in September.
Work on the retaining wall waterproofing is expected to commence in August. Prior to the start of this work, potholing will be underway in July to identify any underground utilities that may impede the excavation to expose this wall. PCL Construction is reviewing the shoring design for temporary soil retention for the duration of this portion of the work.
The planters were addressed over the month of July including the placement of a small roof structure to protect the areas below from water intrusion.
On the interior, crews are addressing the all-gender restroom. Work on the interior will continue following the same sequence of waterproofing.
Construction activities are anticipated to conclude in early November. Moving activities are planned for winter break. King Van Moving Service will assist in returning personnel to the tower from both swing spaces.
