A change in plans for the massive concrete pour initially planned for July 4 at the residential development underway at the Alma College property. City council on Monday approved a noise exemption at 96 Moore Street for a 16-hour period from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. According to city clerk Maria Konefal, the day has now been moved forward to June 27 as the contractors are ahead of schedule.
That day, Sierra Contracting plans to pour almost 3,000 cubic metres of concrete for an underground parking garage in Phase 1 of the three-tower project. It will require approximately 350 truck loads of concrete or about 29 trucks per hour for the massive undertaking.
Sierra Contracting estimates the one-day cost in excess of $600,000. Should the weather not co-operate, the undertaking will be moved to either July 4th or the 11th.
