Current Progress

We continued in June with concrete structure work, GWB framing, masonry, mechanical and electrical work on site. We completed core concrete work up to the 3rd floor and stair #2 shaft up to the 5th floor.

Mechanical and electrical trades are roughing-in services in the basement and working on the connection of services to HSC existing systems. We are proceeding with structural steel erection for the main floor roof. We plan to complete main floor roof before rigging of the Cyclotron scheduled to start on August 25, 2008.

Stair #2 (east) concrete shaft will be completed in mid July to allow us to start structural steel framing of level 3. Completion of the structure concrete work is scheduled for end of August.
