The Phi crew work on the supporting structure for the concrete forms for the arches. The pump truck arrives ready to start pouring concrete into the forms for the archways that will hold up the deck that overlooks the Village. Once the concrete truck arrived, pouring the cement into the forms began under the watchful eye of the Phi crew. Once the concrete cured the forms were removed revealing the “look” of the support structure for the deck. The concrete will be faced with brick as shown below. Remember those wires in the earlier photo? Pictured below are some of the conduits that will carry those wires underground. Also pictured are some of the many culverts that will provide the drainage for Union and Limerock Streets. A new drainage culvert being installed connecting the culverts on Union and Limerock to the system installed in front of the library that carries runoff to the harbor. A reminder why it is so important that you not dump anything down these drains because it all ends up in the harbor. After all the utility lines (water, sewer, power and communications) have been run into the building through conduits, it was all backfilled and prepped for final grade. Shown below are one of the lights hanging in the book stack area followed by the lights installed in the top of the beams in the room that will provide additional, defused, lighting in the space. Finally, the many energy efficient heat pumps that will keep the building warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
