Site activities at VJH as of March 26, 2009
Extensive excavations for the concrete footings and foundations of the new Patient Care Tower are well underway. Over 1,000 metres of concrete have been poured to date. Reinforcement of the existing buildings is all but complete. And the crane that will be used to build the tower is now working and assisting with form work and concrete reinforcing.
The Next Phase
Over the coming months the structure will rise out of the ground at a very fast pace. The construction will be progressive. What that means is that, for example, as an area of footings is completed, backfill will follow as will underground piping.
It will be very exciting watching the new building rise out of the ground. Shortly you will see columns being erected in preparation for the first floor forms being installed.
Open House Coming Soon
We will be hosting a public open house at the Village Green Mall on April 18 to talk to the public about what they can expect during construction, and what the new patient care tower will do to enhance patient care in the North Okanagan. The VJH Foundation will also be there with information on its "Building a Tower of Care Campaign". We hope to see you there!
