he second tier excavation can begin once all of the rods pass a stress test. Each row is approximately six feet high. Due to the slope of the project grade, roughly fifteen feet of the south wall needs to be excavated before digging begins on the north wall. The south wall will be approximately 45 feet below grade, while the south wall will be about 30 feet below grade.

As the foundation is built these pipes will be extended through the foundation for future use as the building is constructed. These service pipes have been installed at different levels around the whole perimeter of the building.

The perimeter (from Prospect Street, north; Barton Road, south; Anderson Street, east; and Campus Steet, west) for the new hospitals, which will tower east and adjacent to the existing Loma Linda University Medical Center, was fenced off in the late Spring of 2016. Until the steel structure begins to rise above the chain link fence, the visitor can only imagine what is going on behind the fence. Hopefully, this website will satisfy the curiosity of the visitors to this site. Questions concerning the construction are welcome. All questions should be sent to: ttletc@gmail.com

timber-shoring-sectionThe timber shoring section (center) behind the ladder is a temporary wall which will be removed once a tunnel is built to connect the new hospitals with the existing Medical Center complex.
