Project Update Big changes have occurred for the project since our last update. We continue to progress on Phase 2, although not as fast as we’d all like. The completion date for this phase has been re-established for October 16th.

The big news is a major restructuring of the phasing for the balance of the project. Samaritas is now allowing us to work in 2 areas of the facility at the same time. Friday, September 8th, we issued new schedules for Phases 3-5. The project will be completed by the end of August 2018 or sooner.

Looking Ahead

SAFETY Matters Being Safe on a Scaffold

Phase 2 had some trade partner set backs on labor, but after making it through that hurdle the finish work for Phase 2 is going full speed.

The start of Phase 3 is underway with a temporary entrance and the placement of our long lead time orders. I am also happy to say that J.E. Johnson has corrected the hot water issue from Phase 1.

An estimated 2.3 million construction workers, or 65% of the construction industry, work on scaffolds. Protecting workers from scaffold-related accidents may prevent some of the 4,500 injuries and 60 deaths every year. Faulty design and inadequate construction are sometimes involved; but in most cases, scaffold accidents are caused by careless maintenance and improper use.

5 Ways We Ensure Scaffolding Safety » » » » »

Performing daily inspections prior to use Boarding, fencing and fastening all platforms Avoiding a stockpile of materials or overloading scaffolds Forbidding the use during storms or high winds Clearing the area surrounding the scaffolding
