After nine months of foundation stabilization, the next phase of building reinforcement will begin this week as the shotcrete starts in the basement. The shotcrete will continue up to the top of 3^rd floor.  At the top of building in the upper rotunda, the new structural steel has been installed. This completes the major strengthening of the existing steel frame that supports the top of the building. The added steel also ties the outside walls to the interior steel frame. Diani Building Corp. is installing new connections at the upper dome wood 　framing to give it seismic resistance. They are focusing on re-building the upper dome and roof areas to have the upper part the building complete and water tight before next winter. We are quickly approaching the start of interior space construction which includes new walls, ceilings, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire sprinkler systems. Once the shotcrete is complete, Taft Electric, Santa Margarita Construction, Terry Otis Construction, Scott Murray Plumbing and Alpha Fire Protection will mobilize to start installing these new systems. Ceiling and wall construction will also begin. The pace of construction is steadily increasing with the next 12 months being on track for substantial project completion.
