Parkwood Renovation Update for May 20
There was more important progress in the preparation
for taking down the Mulvagh Wing.
The hydro line feeding electricity to the Mulvagh Wing
was taken down. Demolition could not take place with
electricity still feeding into the building.
The chimney on top of the roof of the Mulvagh Wing
was taken down in an interesting way. A hole was cut
in the roof near the chimney. As a workman loosened
the chimney bricks, he threw them through the hole
into the Mulvagh Wing. In this way, the demolition of
the building would not cause the old chimney to fall in
an unpredictable way and potentially cause damage.
A partial wall of exterior bricks on the side of the main
building was removed in anticipation of the
construction joining the new building with the main
building on that level. The pile of these bricks will be
removed at the same time as the debris from the
Mulvagh Wing is removed.
The Construction Manager indicated that Parkwood
would benefit from commercial haulage being done
after May 18. The City, in its wisdom, has a "halfload" policy whereby commercial haulage vehicles
such as those which will remove the debris from the
Mulvagh Wing are restricted to half their normal
maximum loads to prevent undue damage to roads
and unpaved surfaces. Thus, before May 18 it would
take two trips by a truck as opposed to one maximumload trip after May 18. (One could say there is a policy
which is not a few bricks short of a full load <g>)
