For the third visit today I went over to the West AJ Renovation project. This project is an extensive complete building renovation that has been going on for over two years now, obviously there is a lot going on. I didnt have the opportunity to walk inside the building but I did get some photos and take some notes from the exterior of the building. Attached is a daily log form and also some photos.
12-1-11 Daily Log Report (Reddick Construction) West AJ
This photo shows the exterior of West AJ looking into the corner of the building where they are rebuilding the masonry of the exterior. You can see the extensive scaffold system that has been installed surrounding the exterior of the building, this is where the masonry company is working from. This allows them an ample work area for the men to work safely and quickly.
From this photo you can see another angle of the building and the scaffolding. There isn't a lot that you can see from the outside of the building so this is why the two photos seem to look so alike. Again you can see the extensive scaffold system that has been installed around the exterior. In front of the building you can see the staging area that is being used to park vehicles, where the office trailer is, and where materials are beings stored.
This site offers a unique experience in its scaffolding system, I feel like these are getting more rare today instead of seeing men working off lifts or pneumatic scaffolds. I really regret not going to the interior site visit of this building, it would have been very beneficial to see what they were doing inside the building; being that I missed it though this is the best i could do. The only recommendations I have for this site is to use more pneumatic scaffolds instead of the extensive scaffolding; I would expect the use of man lifts and pneumatic scaffolds would cost less than this and would be easier to maintain. It would be interesting to see the estimated price difference between the scaffold used and my idea.
