Footings, Paving, Plumbing and More

So much progress is happening this week! It's hard to even keep up with all of the activity.

The construction team has been pouring footings around the perimeter of the new building since late last week with the goal of 200' per day. They are near completion. Masons are laying footing blocks around the building going wing by wing. The new building has 4 wings, 3 with all private rooms for clients and one wing for administration and common areas. Two wings will have in-wall panels so oxygen can be piped right into the building eliminating the need for free standing equipment in rooms for clients with respiratory needs.

When the expansion is complete, staff and visitors will drive to the NeuroCare Campus from a new entrance off of Hannan Road. This will eliminate almost all traffic from Chase Road, which is a residential street, improving safety for residents and neighbors. The new Hannan Road entrance, entry drive, nature trail, and new parking lots have been an important focus this week. Electricians have installed the lighting infrastructure along the drive and irrigation sleeves are also being installed in coordination with the pavement work. A stone pavement base has been installed along the new drive from Hannan and the final positioning has been staked out in preparation for paving which may begin as early as next week.

Go Team Go!

  1. Children and the elderly are the most susceptible to burns because their reaction time to scalding water is slower. Small children don't know how to remove themselves from the threat of scalding water either. Plumbers World
