Last month, we found a BIG surprise – the biggest since construction began. When digging for the new elevator pit (the deepest part of the project), the crew encountered ledge! This is a large continuous body of rock that takes extra care – and lots of time due to the tight work areas – to remove. They drilled down, poured grout to fracture the ledge, and are taking it out piece by piece. Even though it’s a time-consuming process, it thankfully doesn’t derail the project. There is just another foot to go before the new elevator pit can be placed.
