Coming Out of the Ground

Footings and foundations continue to progress around the site. Kent Concrete is currently working within the Assisted Living wings and will wrap up shortly before transitioning to the Health Center. The Independent Living wing is being prepared with underground utilities being installed by DHE and Feyen Zylstra to support a major milestone: the slab-on-grade pour scheduled to begin the first week of March. Integrated Exteriors has continued its work across the entire building, erecting stair towers, elevator shafts, and masonry fire walls. The building is coming out of the ground, and we can see vertical progress. EV Sitework has recently completed the second underground water detention system, which has the capacity to hold nearly 400,000 gallons of water.

Currently, EV Sitework, Kent Concrete, DHE, Feyen Zylstra, and Integrated Exteriors are still working hard, preparing to pour the concrete slab and start the framing.

Integrated Exteriors has brought additional crews to the Porter Hills project site to help expedite progress. As masonry stair towers, elevator shafts, and fire walls are erected, surrounding work areas must be temporarily restricted for safety. By working ahead of schedule, Integrated Exteriors has been able to release areas sooner than originally planned.
