Cadet Construction Update - Week of April 23, 2012

The erection of precast wall panels at the pool structure began today. There are fourteen panels being erected, each weighing approximately 16,000 pounds each.

Later this week the shoring towers will be disassembled and the panels will be washed and caulked.  This will allow the roofing to be repaired and the interior face of the panels to be painted.  

Next week you will see additional steel supports added to the north and south elevations to stiffen the existing steel columns.
