DEMOLITION OF WEST SHAFT - RAL NORTH - DEC 26 & 27 - 6AM TO 4PM BOTH DAYS


TO ALL IN RAL NORTH:

The ESCO project crew needs to do further demolition on the west shaft in RAL North and will be doing this work Dec. 26 and Dec. 27 from 6:00am to 4:00pm both days.  Please see further details from Schneider Electric below:

**************************************************************************************


All,

This email serves as a notification to request permission to perform demolition in the West shaft in Roger Adams Laboratory North. An additional duct was discovered in the west shaft during the abatement process that will need to be removed as discussed in our previous meeting. The location of the West Shaft is located south of the elevator in Roger Adams Laboratory North. The demolition would start on the fourth floor and continue through each floor ending at the ground floor. The existing partitions and protective measures in the spaces and surrounding areas are currently still in place and will be utilized for this demolition process. The entire process will take two days. Please note that the ductwork has already been abated and passed clearance testing. Disruptions to building occupants will be kept at a minimum. All measures will be taken to make sure that process does not affect staff and students.
Davis Houk Mechanical is requesting for this demolition to begin on December 26th and 27th. Davis Houk will begin work at 6 am and complete by 4 pm daily. Access to the elevator may be needed to remove debris and bring in materials.   No outages will be needed for this scope of work. Please note that no work will be done or scheduled until Schneider Electric receives a notice to proceed from the University. If  you have any additional questions feel free to contact me.

Parking Lot Closure - RAL Shipping/Receiving Dock Adjacent Lot - Dec 6 & 7


All,

This serves as a notification for a large crane to be placed in the Roger Adams parking lot adjacent to Shipping/Receiving beginning Friday, Dec. 6 at 5am and will last until approximately 5pm on Saturday, Dec. 7.  For those of you who have reserved spaces in that lot, Parking should have  notified you of this closure.  If they didn’t, this affects the following spaces:

  • All General D16 Spaces Next to RAL (6 Spaces)
  • D16 Space 1
  • D16 Space 5 (F&S)
  • D16 Space 6 (F&S)
  • D16 Space 8
  • D16 Space 9

The reason for placement of this large crane is to install a new Air Handling Unit(AHU) in the RAL North penthouse.  Schneider will have additional manpower onsite to help direct pedestrian traffic.  We will also place signage at entry/exit points affected by the crane placement and will have the drives blocked as needed.  We apologize for the inconvenience but this work is necessary to keep the ESCO project on track for completion.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

The purpose is to schedule a complete shut down for the domestic water line in NORTH Roger Adams Lab. The shutdown will last for approximately six hours. Davis Houk will need to take the domestic water line back to the main and install a valve to reroute the piping in the future for construction purposes.  One of the plumbers from the university has confirmed that there is no isolation valve that would allow us to do the work without shutting down the water in NORTH RAL.  This means there will be NO HOT or COLD WATER in RAL North.  DI Water is NOT affected.  The installation of the valve will begin at 6 am and will be completed by 12 pm on Thursday, August 22.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding the upcoming domestic water shutdown in RAL North,  please contact me no later than 3pm on Friday, Aug 16.
