Open excavation in clean soils will continue south of Building 1 for the installation of underground piping and conduit for site utilities.

Pile driving activities have been completed in footprint of Building 4.  No other pile driving activities planned for in October.

Eversource electrical utility work at the end of Harvey Street has been completed.  This work brought underground power to the site for our temporary construction electrical substation.  Temporary overhead electrical lines and poles are all installed throughout the site for the distribution of construction related electricity.  Electrical substation and power to the site is now live to Building 1 and Building 2 along with other operations throughout the site.

The two generators that were running 24/7 to power critical operations are fully decommissioning and no longer run off hours. 

Other generators run during regular working hours to support a variety of construction activities.

Maintenance and trash pickup along the public pathways on the west side of the property running from Whittemore Ave down along Parkway Pond to the MBTA Headhouse Plaza is ongoing.  Activation of the emergency call box phones on the most southern section is still work in progress.
