City Hall Update, November 2024

November 20, 2024

The week before last, members of our team had the opportunity to visit Gate Precast Concrete in Nashville, Tennessee. Gate Precast Concrete is the company making the precast concrete panels that will be the exterior shell for the new City Hall. What does precast mean? Precast is a concrete product that is created offsite then delivered to its project destination for final use

These panels are enormous, and each takes 24 hours to fabricate. They are very labor intensive. The only part of the process that is automated is the concrete mix. Here is a short video that shows part of the process.

A little over seven months have passed since we installed our work site camera. The camera will help us document the project and will enable us to create a time-lapse video once the project is complete. Check out how different the job site looks now compared to the first picture we took in April. 

This is the first picture we took with our work site camera on April 24, 2024. The construction crew had just finished tearing down the old police headquarters.   

This next image was taken on November 12, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. This image is a testament to all the progress the construction crews have made in the past seven months, including excavation, drilling over 100 deep foundation pears, pouring a five-foot-deep mat foundation, forming and pouring the concrete walls, and many other steps to get us to where we are today. 

Wow, what a difference! 

This project has so many moving parts, and the progress is fun to watch. I wonder what the site will look like in seven months.
