From Lendlease – 100 Claremont Project – week of November 9, 2020

The excavation/foundation phase of the project, which commenced July 6, continues and is expected to take approximately seven months. Rock excavation/chopping will continue for approximately three months and includes excavators with hoe rams to chop and loosen the rock, line drillers to more easily remove the rock, and excavators with buckets to remove and load soil and loose rock into trucks. Rock chopping and drillers will be noisy.

Trucks will frequently be removing material from the site throughout the excavation phase of work. During this time, concrete will be poured from trucks to construct temporary support walls for the excavation and permanent anchors will be drilled into the rock with drill rigs. Concrete foundation work will include installing rock anchors, steel reinforcing deliveries and installation, along with concrete delivery from trucks and placement by concrete pumps and buckets carried by an excavator. Noise and dust mitigation plans will be followed.

Work hours are 7:00 am – 6:00 pm (no rock chopping will occur before 8:00 a.m.) with most work ending by 4:30 p.m. Roof protection installation will continue at Knox Hall on Saturday November 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 pm

Weekend work for crane install is scheduled for November 13 evening through Sunday, November 15 and will include the closure of Claremont Ave between 120th-122nd Street to vehicular traffic. Pedestrian traffic on the west side of Claremont will remain open, with temporary closures as needed. Pedestrian access on the east side of Claremont will be restricted throughout.
