DIVISION 1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: As shown in the photo 1.1 the main entrance area is also parking for all vehicles, while the secondary entrance area (on Gilmore avenue) is used for material deposit such as: wood, steel and generators. Offices and other deposits are located outside the site construction. DIVISION 2_EXISTING CONDITION: Since the first visit it can be observed that the excavation work is about to be completed (photo 1.2) and that the excavation walls have been reinforced with soil nails similar to soil anchors (photo 1.4) and a layer of shootcrete and mesh. The climate of these days allows workers to work quietly. At this stage of the work is not yet installed any cranes. DIVISION 3_CONCRETE: At this preliminary stage has not been set yet any formwork or reinforcing steel, workers are still preparing and leveling the surface. The holes of the construction site are filled with sands or concrete (photo 1.3). DIVISION 31_EARTHWORK: The site has been prepared for the next step. Within the area ESC tanks have been installed. Protecting the site perimeter the area is surrounded by a high wood and metal hoarding, all the signs around the site are properly installed. The site has a large parking for vehicles and a long ramp to reach the hearts of the excavation. Protecting excavation walls soil nails have been installed and capped and after a layer of shootcrete has been spryed.

SUMMARY OF WORK SINCE PREVIOUS VISIT: DIVISION 2/31_SITE WORK: As shown in photo 2.3, since the first visit, the same areas are still in the excavation process. Unlike the first visit it rained a lot that week, so the process is slowed. SUMMARY OF WORK IN PROGRESS: DIVISION 2/31_SITE WORK: As shown in photo 2.1 and 2.3 after the rain of these days the water is pumped out excavation, to provide a dry working area. A pumps system is installed all around. Photo 2.4 shows the new bituminous paving long the vehicle parking and main entrance. Most of the piles are covered with plastic sheet, to protect them from rotting. DIVISION 3_CONCRETE: At this stage has not been set yet any formwork or reinforcing steel, workers are still preparing and leveling the surface. SITE ISSUE: The work is still delayed, the site is messier compared with the last visit. Some materials are spread around. Another serious problem is the massive presence of water on site caused by the heavy rains in recent days, pumps are operating all day to keep the water out from the excavation to provide a dry working area (panoramic view 2.1).

SUMMARY OF WORK SINCE PREVIOUS VISIT: DIVISION 2/31_SITE WORK: As shown in photo 3.1, since the first visit, the same areas are still in the excavation process. Few of rocks have been removed from the site. But there are still some smaller rocks left at the site. SUMMARY OF WORK IN PROGRESS: DIVISION 2/31_SITE WORK: As shown in picture 3.1, crew were excavating one specified area to install the crane. They excavated the site, add the plastic white material. The next step would be to add the grade on top of the plastic material,( reinforcing steel). DIVISION 3_CONCRETE: The process of the concrete is still on going. But due to the heavy rain, there was delay in schedule for shotcrete the walls. SITE ISSUE: The day I went to report on the site, I talked to contractor. Due to the heavy rain fall during October, the dewatering process is not going very well. The crew had to repeat the process multiple times in order to have a dry site to work on. The rain had great effect on the schedule and it causes delay.
