Leggett Building Project Activity Update – March 4, 2022

Dear Neighbors,

Thank you for your interest in the Leggett Building construction project at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus. We will strive to keep our neighbors informed about significant construction events with this weekly email notification.

Upcoming activities are listed below:

• Steel
  The delivery of large steel beams and columns has been completed. Smaller steel components will continue to be delivered on flatbed trucks. All trucks are required to follow designated routes to and from the site and must enter and exit on Fenton Street from Philadelphia.
• Concrete Operations Changes
  The placing and finishing of concrete floor slabs within the steel structure is continuing to advance. A concrete pump truck is required to support the placement of the slabs. To increase efficiency of the finishing process, we have consulted the City and the County about bringing in the concrete pump trucks at 6 a.m., an hour earlier than usual. The operation has been in use and will continue moving forward.

  Due to factors such as adverse weather, it is likely this temporary schedule adjustment may last through April. At this juncture, concrete pours will be occurring at least once a week to ensure that operations are completed as efficiently as possible. As discussed at our last Project Update Forum, sound-reducing blankets have been added to the structure exterior on the Takoma Avenue side of the site. As always, we will actively monitor site conditions and keep you informed. Learn more about the current concrete process and changes to site operations on our website.

• Hauling Materials
  When needed, soil is being removed and replaced from the site.
