• Window Wall window installation continues on Level 23.
• Corridor stud installation will be active on the Level 19 and 20.
• Interior suite stud installation will be active on Level 10 & 11.
• Remaining elevator deliveries for the tower elevators all week.
  • Other trade & material deliveries have been halted for the week to facilitate elevator component deliveries, except for concrete and rebar deliveries.
  • We expect there will be delays to traffic access to Lombard at times during these deliveries. Best efforts will be made to minimize disruptions.

A reminder about Concrete Finishing in cold weather.

This week is forecast to have cold temperatures, ranging from – 5 to -14. As we have noted previously, cold weather affects the concrete work. This will be particularly true this week. The active temperature requires different mixes of aggregate and different, most often longer, curing and setting times. This impacts the time required to ‘finish’ the concrete, which is the final and a critical part of all continuous concrete pours.

On days when it is possible to have active concrete work, we can expect later working hours, which may extend to 11 pm, midnight or possibly later. However, if the wind is too strong and/or if there’s heavy snow, concrete work may be cancelled.

When there is late evening concrete finishing, the crane lights will stay on later to ensure the safety of the crews working on the top level of the building. To ensure the safety and feasibility of this critical work, the crane lights will stay on until the work is being completed, afterwards the crane lights will be turned off.
