Project Update 2014 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for the ICC Beltline project. Since the start of the new year we have increased the overall manpower on the jobsite to over 80 people on a consistent basis. Ritsema and Associates accelerated the metal stud and drywall hanging on the 2 nd and 3rd floors. By the end of the day on Friday, the 2nd floor framing will be 90% complete, and the 3rd floor will follow just slightly behind. Ritsema also has two crews hanging drywall on the upper two floors and will begin finishing the walls this weekend.
While the upper two floors go vertical, the lower two floors are wrapping up the access flooring. Keeping the building at a usable temperature was a challenge with the extreme temperatures we had last week but, with the warmth, G3 Technologies placed the access flooring and loaded the lower floors with material.
On the exterior of the building, the low temperatures made it difficult and unsafe to work, but our crews were productive when given the opportunity. AMI installed z-furring on the east elevation and is ready to start installing some of the metal panels. Vos Glass started receiving glass for the west curtain wall this week and will have almost 200 pieces installed before the week is over. The site continues to buzz with activity, and we look forward to maintaining the momentum we have established on-site.
