MIDCO速 AQUATIC CENTER CONSTRUCTION UPDATE Winter2015/2016Volume 3 Dear Resident, Winter is upon us. The Midco Aquatic Center at Spellerberg Park structure is complete and enclosed. Interior temperatures have been stabilized, the 50 meter pool has been poured, and leisure pool excavation has started. With the extremely low outside temperatures and frozen precipitation, construction crews are focused on interior activities including: current channel, recreation, and therapy pools construction as well as mechanical and electrical systems installation. Fill operations continue around pool structures as concrete pool decks are being prepared. Mechanical room concrete floors are being poured and finished awaiting mechanical and electrical system installation. As days continue to get longer, spring will be here in short order. The 50 meter pool will start receiving ceramic tile lane markers as well as the final Diamond Bright pool liner finish. As exterior temperatures and weather conditions allow, construction activities will continue on the building exterior including brick veneer, metal cladding and aluminum window systems. Concrete curb and gutter along with paving, irrigation, and landscaping will start in spring as well. During the course of construction, Spellerberg Park amenities outside of the construction perimeter fence remain open and available for public use. These areas along with a 24/7 web cam help provide front row observation to construction activities. As with any construction site, please use caution when approaching construction areas and actively supervise children. Our goal is to send everyone home safely every day. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience as we continue construction of your new indoor aquatic center at Spellerberg Park. The Midco Aquatic Center is on schedule to open this fall. Additional project information including renderings, news releases, and sponsorship information is available at www.siouxfalls.org/indooraquaticcenter. Thanks again, Sioux Falls Construction
