Q3 2024 Project Update

Renovate Building 300

Demolition of exterior stairs and site walkways is in progress to make room for cast-in-drill-hole (CIDH) pile drilling. The CIDH piles were tested in late August, and the testing laboratory provided passing results. Production CIDH pile driving started on September 10 and is anticipated to take 10 days to complete. Additional measures were taken to detour students, maintain the project fencing, and prevent students from entering the project site while CIDH takes place. Paleontological monitoring will take place during drilling activities. Tunnel shoring is underway to prepare for CIDH pile drilling.

DSA approved the micropile driving design for the interior of the building. Initial testing of the design is anticipated for mid-October; if successful, the production of micro piles will start on November 5 and last for approximately four weeks. Pile caps will be installed once all micropiles are driven inside the building and joined with the CIDH piles outside of the structure.

The building interior, existing plaster stabilization, and reinforcement for areas of historical significance will commence once the submittals are approved by the Design Team in the upcoming weeks. Strategy development is in progress to test existing conditions for proper attachments and reinforcement of the existing walls. The start of these activities is anticipated in early October.

The fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) system submittal is under review by the Structural Engineer of Record. Upon completion, the submittal is anticipated to be provided to DSA in September for final review and approval.
