Another Delay On Completing the Drive Through

The structural engineer for our Family Life Center project (Alliance in Richmond) has determined that the steel beams that run between the building and the new steel support columns must meet the original design specifications. This means the re-designed beams that are currently on site must be replaced. This will delay completion of the drive through while new beams are ordered and fabricated. The upside is the drive through will be very strong. The downside is it will take longer to complete.

Sidewalks Poured


The sidewalks are almost complete. The parking lot still needs to be graded to its final contours. This is why some of the sidewalk sections currently appear to be too low. Plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning work continues inside the building.

Curbs and Gutters Going In


The curbing and gutters for the new parking lot have been poured. Final grading and the laying of gravel will commence soon. This will permit us to start using part the new parking area prior to asphalt paving.

Last of the Steel Arrives


The structural steel posts that replace the masonry ones in the drive through are now on site. Erection of the remaining steel and completion of the drive through will commence as soon as the grading and cement contractors complete the curbs and sidewalks.
