What to expect
Both of the 7.5 MG tanks are being constructed concurrently, beginning with the floors, then walls and columns, and eventually roof slabs.
Concrete work
Tank #1 roof slab pours are tentatively scheduled for Dec. 29 and Dec. 30. The pump truck will arrive on site around 7 a.m. and concrete will arrive shortly after. We are anticipating each roof section will require around 45 concrete trucks. There will be increased cars parked on E. 40th on roof pour days.
Tree work
EWEB foresters will be on site in the next week to identify hazard trees for removal. EWEB is doing this work to protect neighboring residences and public safety on the site. Tree removal will likely occur before the end of January.
