Construction Progress Update
9/19/2025

The existing ring wall has been fully demolished and removed from the site (see photos of the giant claw excavator in action).

This past week, crews focused on over-excavation and soil compaction to prepare for upcoming concrete work. All compaction tests met or exceeded required standards.

Next week, crews will begin preparing the concrete foundation for the new ring wall.

Tank II Removal

On September 2, 2025, dewatering and removal of Tank II began. As a result of this activity, you may notice water running down Ardath and Richard Streets. This is expected during the demolition process and is being managed by the construction team.
