Carver construction: Updates for the week of Nov. 1

Carver construction activities for week of Nov. 1:

• Complete demolition of Gym C.
• Continue demolition of gyms A and D.
• Complete grading and filling central corridor.
• Begin testing drilled piles:
  • Drilled piles (augercast piling) do not generate the loud hammering, vibrating energy that driven piling generates. Noise will be similar in intensity to previous demolition noise.
  • 20 percent of piling will involve short “pin” piles that will create noise similar to jackhammering.
• First phase of piling scheduled to be complete late December/early January.
• Noise, odors, dust, truck traffic, vibrations.

Next week’s activities:

• Complete demolition of gyms A and D.
• Begin drilling “micro” piles in central corridor:
• Equipment noise and diesel fumes. Noise will be similar or less in intensity as previous demolition noise.
• Noise, odors, dust, truck traffic, vibrations.
