All went well during last weekend's work, and power was restored to the Raleigh Municipal building and parking deck on Sunday. This week, crews continue their work on forming the basement walls. Sections that are completed are now being waterproofed and then backfilled. There is also a team working on the foundation for the new electrical vault.
