The Brant Street Pier
Graham continues construction during the winter months - Jan. 20, 2012
Physical construction activities on the Brant Street Pier may appear to have stopped during winter weather, but construction processes continue off site and the project remains on time and on budget, according to Graham's contract with the city.
Before the Christmas break, Graham Infrastructure successfully removed 90 tonnes of steel from the site and has placed it in storage. Prior to Graham's start with the project, the steel in the structure had failed quality testing.
Other works that continue include:
- regular site/team meetings
- preparation/submission and review of structural steel shop drawings
- continued project monitoring and controlling
