Weekly Construction Update
November 15, 2024
Lots of wind is keeping the drone out of the air, but we finally got some updated photos.
This week we will pour the last small area of foundation concrete in the area surrounding the pit-levelers at the base of the dock doors. Once that is completed, we will hang the last section of structural steel. Once all structural steel is in place, everything gets tightened down to achieve our CAT-5-hurricane-proof (am I jinxing us here?!) wind rating.
The domestic water line, including the fire suppression line, is buried and ready for interior plumbers / fire suppression team.
Next week exterior sheeting and roofing commences.
90 days until job is 100% complete!

Steel work continues at a rapid clip, and our road is starting to encircle the building. Once we bring in the domestic and fire water pipes (and move the construction trailer out of the way), we can finish the perimeter road. The stormwater retention pond (out of frame) is also beginning to take final form. Lots of dirt to move!

Steel is going vertical fast!
October 18, 2024
10 truckloads of steel are on-site and ready to be erected!
To get the trucks of steel onto the slab, we prioritized the drive-in ramp. Now that the metal is delivered, we will continue the rest of the paving and civil work. Leveling of the truck court and retention pond are underway. Employee parking area is framed and ready for paving.
Next week, steel starts going vertical!

Groundbreaking Ceremony Day!
Drive-In ramp is completed and ready for steel delivery end of week!
October 12, 2024
100% of the building slab is now poured!
The second smaller pad is the beginning of the truck loading / unloading area. The building pad has a base flood elevation of 9ft, and the second smaller pad has a base flood elevation of 5ft. On the left and right sides of the smaller paving pad, the paving will slope up to the building pad for drive-in doors and employee parking areas. The central truck court will maintain the 5ft elevation to create a dock-height warehouse for easier loading and unloading.
We have a groundbreaking ceremony next week, and after that the structural steel starts to show up!
September 30, 2024
2/3 of the slab is now poured!
Slab will be completed within 10 days (would be this week, but we’re expecting 2 days of rain mid-week. We are now grading the truck loading area and parking areas.
September 23, 2024
Wet Concrete! We poured the second section of slab. Grade beams for the next two slab sections are completed and ready for next two pours. The cut out in the slab for the next two pours is so that the concrete boom pump can reach the other side of the slab.
Civil work is underway. We just need some dry days to move dirt!
September 19, 2024
First section of slab is down!
Hurricane Francine rolled through last week, which delayed our first concrete slab pour. Now that it is sunny again, we have poured the first section of slab. Second slab pour (of 6 total sections) is scheduled for 9/21. Now that the ground is starting to dry out, we can better excavate the civil portions of the project.
September 3, 2024
The first corner of concrete, the western office corner, is the most important and time consuming aspect of the entire job because there is a very limited area to work. The rest of the site measured to the starting point, so now that this corner’s sub-slab is substantially completed, the concrete teams can spread out and lay the sub-slab on top of the piles across the rest of the site. This week we also took delivery of our concrete catch basins (in the foreground of the bridge picture). With these on-site, now we can begin forming the drive aisles, truck loading areas, and retention pond.
August 26, 2024
We wasted no time between getting our building permit last week to mobilizing concrete teams this week. Now the team is digging rows of trenches across timber piles to connect them with rebar forms and concrete. These connected rows will absorb the weight of the building and spread it across the sub-slab and piles. Eventually these rows will be connected with concrete, a layer of sheet steel, and then more concrete.
