Shalimar Plaza - 8 Commerical Store Build Outs

We are bringing the water lines from the city main to each of the store fronts.

A utility vault is an underground room providing access to the water line and valves that are connected to the City main line

The PVC for the bathroom, pedicure chairs and laundry room are done

The old fire spray is falling off the joists so we are removing it all and will spray new cementitious fireproofing.

We have put up the concrete forms and have laid all  ready to have the concrete trucks line up tomorrow.

The grade beam is a reinforced concrete beam that sits on the caissons to spread the load of the building.  This footing gives the grade beam something level to sit on.

We had to drill 12 feet down in the ground, install a lot of rebar and then pour concrete to give the front of the building the necessary support.

The existing roof was torn off and a new TPO flat roof was installed on the new strip mall.

We have added temporary shoring at each end of the warehouse and are adding additional lateral support to the outside walls before we can excavate.

The roof has been cut so that the demolition can begin to remove 1/2 of the existing warehouse to create 8 store fronts.

We are adding additional steel supports to brace the wall and roof since we had to remove a column that was hidden in a wall that was demolished.

We have started to remove all the existing ceiling tiles, electrical conduits and HVAC duct work.

We have moved the RPZ values and have made the new fire sprinkler water connections to the existing Shalimar banquet hall.

We need to move the existing RPZ’s from the sprinkler room that will be demolished to the new sprinkler room location.

We had to move the water line from the portion of the building that is being demolished to the new water/sprinkler room so that we can begin demolition.

Before we could turn on the new fire sprinkler service, we need to perform a water flush test and a chlorination test for the fire department.  The new fire sprinkler service is up and running.

The existing fire sprinkler water service is in the portion of the building that we are demolishing.  We had to excavate and run a new water line to the new sprinkler room.

Construction to start soon!

We will be cutting about 1/3 of the warehouse to make room for parking along North Ave.  We will have to move the Fire Protection water service from the section of the building that is going to be demolished.
