The Week of August 26, 2019 — More of the Same: Updates on the Domestic Water Pit, the Fire Water Pit, the Tunnel, the Schuman Pavilion Pedestrian Bridge/Elevator Pit, the Backup Generator Pit, and the 16th Floor Terrace
The tunnel is finally taking shape. No longer does it look like a large trench in the ground. The featured image shows all the makings of a tunnel: rebar and scaffolding. Upon close inspection, one can visualize where the roof of the tunnel will be as the rebar is bent toward the center. Unfortunately, access to my favorite lookout spot will be limited as the carpenters are forming the sides of the tunnel.
This blog will concentrate on the construction activities around the building at grade, which is getting more interesting as the projects progress toward completion. A brief visit to the roof of the adult tower and the sixteenth-floor will once again reveal a fantastic perspective of the campus and beyond. Finally, I moved inside and videoed a portion of the ground floor, which can be viewed on the following link: https://docuvision2020.com/index.php/2019/03/28/a-walkabout-on-the-17th-floor-roof-of-the-adult-hospital-tower/
