The Denver VA Replacement Hospital at Fitzsimons - Project Eagle

PROJECT EAGLE UPDATE

Monday, December 7, 2009

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for the crews at the Project Eagle site.  If you visit the area, you’ll notice that some buildings that used to be there are no longer standing!  Most notably, the former Burger king building is gone.  Next up is the former PX Building.  We call that progress!

Things will slow down a bit as the Holidays approach, but our crews are hard at work, and the New Year will bring new improvements as we continue to work towards the construction phase of the Denver VAMC Replacement Facility!

Progress summary

• Equipment for demolition has been mobilized to site.

• Removed approximately 100’ x 20’ asphalt at the south boundary of the property for silt fence installation.
• Photographer was on site to take progress photos.

• Hazardous material remediation in Building 817 is completed.
• Former Burger King Building and a trailer have been demolished.  Continue to load out debris.
• Soil testing result indicated that no pesticide was detected.
• Transport hazardous material to approved hazardous landfill.

Proposed tasks for this week

• Start Building 817 (former PX Building) demolition.  This project should take approximately 4 weeks including concrete slab removal.
