Giant concrete walls, three stories high and 30 feet wide, cut slowly through the air Tuesday morning, hoisted by a giant crane that moved the 204,000-pound slabs as easily as a child lifts the panels of a cardboard clubhouse.

In just under 30 minutes, construction crews guided, positioned and fastened each wall in a speedy process that belied the months of preparation that came before.

By Thursday, the new Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital campus will have its second key facility an 80,000-square-foot medical office building.

A lot goes into this before today, said Jodie Clay, project manager for the construction company Swinerton Builders. There's kind of nothing, nothing, nothing and then all of a sudden you have a building.

The construction process, known as a tilt-up, is common among warehouses and big-box structures such as Wal-Mart, Target and Friedman's Home Improvement. It's not so common for constructing multi-level medical office buildings, said Jim Kobayashi, development manager for Hammes Company, a health care construction developer.

The tilt-up process is more affordable than steel-frame building and shaves one or two months off the construction timeline.

We and a lot of our competitors are going this way to keep construction costs down and keep the rental rates within the market, said Kobayashi.

Unlike prefabricated construction, tilt-up wall sections are poured in place, where casting frames and rebar are laid on a flat surface and, in this case, 10- to 12-inch thick concrete is poured into the frames to form the walls. It takes about seven days for the concrete to cure.

After the walls go up, an interior skeleton of steel columns and beams will be built inside the perimeter of the building. Then floors and a roof will be installed.

So that by May, the interior construction begins and the building will be done by August, Kobayashi said.

The Madras High Court Bench here was flooded with requests on Wednesday to prevent the construction of Anna Universitys regional office buildings here on 83.71 acres of land classified as Kanmoi Poromboke in revenue records.

Lawyers K. Lakshmanan, W. Peter Ramesh Kumar and A. Velan, appearing in three different cases relating to protection of waterbodies, requested Justices R. Sudhakar and V.M. Velumani to stay the proposed construction on S. Kodikulam kanmoi (tank).

They pointed out that on one hand the State government had enacted the Tamil Nadu Protection of Tanks and Eviction of Encroachments Act, 2007, and on the other granted permission for construction of buildings on a waterbody that required to be protected for the progeny.

However, a government counsel pointed out that a Government Order for constructing the building was issued by the Revenue Department way back in August 2010 and that all procedures related to reclassification of the land were followed before granting the permission.

Pointing out that the court could not stay the construction on the basis of newspaper reports submitted by the petitioners, Mr.Justice Sudhakar said the court could interfere in the matter only if a writ petition was filed challenging the G.O.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) February 25, 2014

Sunshine Recycling of Orlando providing dumpster rentals in Florida is currently working on the construction site of a new 4 Rivers Smokehouse restaurant location in East Orlando. The restaurant is located on University Boulevard near the campus of the University of Central Florida. Sunshine Recycling has been providing dumpsters and hauling services for this new construction for the past several months.

Construction on the new restaurant is anticipated to conclude in early spring of this year, and the location will officially open for business around May 15. This is the second location constructed from the ground up, and it is the sixth Florida location for 4 Rivers Smokehouse.

Sunshine Recycling of Orlando also assisted on the construction and renovation of the previous five locations. The company is currently working with contractor Friedrich Watkins Co., providing 30-yard capacity roll off dumpsters to collect construction debris as well as regular hauling services to empty and return the containers. The new location will include the restaurants in-house bakery, Sweet Shop, and design elements reminiscent of Texas smokehouses.

This is an exciting job for us because 4 Rivers Smokehouse is a true cult favorite here in Florida, said Chuck Herb, owner of Sunshine Recycling. We know that fans are excitedly waiting for the grand opening for this location, so were working closely with the builders to make sure that their project is never held up because a dumpster is full.

Sunshine Recycling Inc. of Orlando is a dumpster rental company servicing central Florida. Offering various sizes of dumpsters including front-load, roll-off and full-size construction dumpsters, Sunshine Recycling also provides recyclable, waste and construction debris collection and hauling services and trash compactors. The company is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council and is LEED AP certified.

Major construction and congestion is coming to Carmel ahead of schedule.

The Indiana Department of Transportation on Tuesday announced plans to shut down a section of U.S. 31 in Hamilton County for eight months beginning this spring, work that was initially set to begin in 2015.

But while the plan calls for accelerated work on many of Carmels busiest intersections, project officials still dont expect to finish the full project before the end of 2015 as other work is pushed back.

The road will be closed beginning April 4, from Old Meridian Street to 136th Street, through Thanksgiving, according to INDOT, while new overpasses and interchanges are built at major cross streets including 136th, Main Street and Carmel Drive. U.S. 31 also will be cut to one lane of traffic each way beginning at 116th Street in the south and Keystone Parkway in the north.

The work is part of a broader, $1.2 billion project ongoing since 2011 to turn U.S. 31 into a limited access highway by removing 32 traffic lights between I-465 and South Bend. The Hamilton County portion will convert 13 stoplights to free-flowing interchanges, shaving commute times by 10 minutes locally and as much as 30 minutes along the entire corridor, according to transportation officials.

While the overall plan has been in place for years, the announcement still caught residents, businesses and even Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard off guard Tuesday, mere weeks before the closures are expected to take effect.

Today is the first I knew of the exact dates, said Jami Santos, co-owner of Bellacinos Pizza and Grinders on Carmel Drive near the highway. We were all aflutter about it this morning.

Santos said her employees were wondering how they should get to work come April, and she doesnt know what to expect from customers when the road shuts down.

We keep going back and forth as to how much its going to hurt our business, Santos said. On the plus side, Bellacinos doesnt have much highway visibility to begin with, so the increased local traffic could help. Her restaurant already has received a boost from construction workers, she said.
