Steel Goes Up

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

                               Exciting day here at Immanuel. The steel support beams arrived and already the outlines of the new building are beginning to take shape. Take a look at the photo gallery for more images. We will post video on the site in a couple of days.

Repairs to Metal Roofpan Underway

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Repairing the steel roof                          Repairs to the metal pan of the B-wing 2nd story floor are being made and the pour of the new concrete floor for the second story is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19. Strengthening of the 1st floor walls has been completed and the vertical steel construction should start over the next couple of weeks.

The Glass Breezeway has been removed except for the awning portion leading to the parking lot. The roof will be reconnected to the new Breezeway.

The modifications to the interior water and gas systems are in process and should be completed before the end of the month. New electrical power conduits are in place and the service from Dominion Power should be installed once the new switchgear arrives, is installed, and inspected.

With the concrete pour of the 2nd story floor, the cap to the fire separation stair area will also be poured and the hall doors leading from the B-Wing to the Gym will be ready for installation. Ttemporary walls have been installed in the 1st and 2nd floors of the C-Wing where the new Breezeway will ultimately connect. We are maximizing efforts to get the C-Wing modifications finished this summer before the beginning of the school year.
