Construction Update

Herrman Elementary

This week, the Market & Johnson concrete footing crew poured the last isolated footings/lineal footings in unit B.  Later on in the week, they poured more interior footings in unit E and unit D. Market & Johnson foundation wall crew started out the week pouring concrete to the exterior east side foundation wall of unit E. They then focused their attention on the loading dock foundation walls. The foundation walls of the loading dock start eight feet below the ground which makes them twice as tall as the surrounding exterior foundation walls. They have been continuing to place forms to prepare to pour ½ of the loading dock foundation walls on Monday 8/19. They are nearing the end with both pouring concrete footings and foundation walls.

 

The M&J Masonry started where they left off last week in unit A. They focused on erecting the interior CMU (Concrete Block) walls which will allow for the precast concrete floor that makes the foundation of the second floor to sit upon. To date, they have four walls up to the required height and are currently working on 3 others. They are making good progress.

 

B&B Electric continued this week with working alongside the Mason’s installing their electrical wiring sleeves (part of the rough in process) and miscellaneous wiring accessories (receptacles, etc..) into the CMU walls where they’re needed. They also put more wiring sleeves into place that runs underground over to Unit E where the mechanical room resides.

 

Zimmerman Plumbing continued with their underground piping runs throughout the interior of the building where needed as well as worked in unit A with the Mason’s installing what they need in the CMU walls.

 

Gerke Excavating continued with routine site maintenance and excavated the interior footings where needed for the M&J crews. They also backfilled the exterior portion of the foundation wall that M&J poured earlier this week.

 

Fowler & Hammer has been on site a couple days this week installing the door frames where needed in Unit A for the Masons.
