Please see below project update for the Marblehead Elementary School:

• Continue with site prep, fills and grading on the South end of the project site to support the construction of the new parking lot area.  The use of vibratory compaction equipment will be used throughout this work activity.
• Continue with backfill activites of the building retaining wall on the North end of the project site. 
• Continue with underground utilities on the West side of the site working North towards Gate C located at Dartmouth Road. 
• The excavation for underground utilities within the building footprint shall continue in Area A & B of the building.

• The perimeter roof blocking on the Roof Level shall continue in Areas A/B of the building.  The project will receive deliveries of lumber materials to support this activity. 

The project has two (2) concrete slab on deck placements scheduled for Tuesday 9/15 and Thursday 9/17 of this week.  The project has coordinated and reduced these placements sizes with the concrete contractor to help decrease the duration of these work activities.  It is very typical in the industry that concrete slab on deck and concrete on grade placements require extended work hours to properly complete the work activity. 

Below is the tentative schedule for both concrete placement days.  Note the below periods of time are tentative and subject to change based on concrete service, weather and other potential unforeseen issues.

6:30AM – Concrete Pump Truck Mobilizes Onsite

7:00AM – 12:30PM – Place & Pump Concrete to Floor & Roof Decks

• Approximately (22) Concrete Trucks will be accessing the project site to support this concrete placement

12:30PM – 4:00PM – Commence Concrete Finishing Activities.

• Gas powered finishing equipment will be utilized during this period.

4:00PM – 5:00PM – Third Party Quality Control – Flatness Testing

6:00PM – 8:00PM – Contingency Period for Potential Delays - Concrete Service, Weather Effecting Cure Times, Etc.

This work schedule has been communicated and coordinated with both the Marblehead Building Department & Police Department.
