KESKUS International Estonian Centre construction progress report
Remediation work by the TTC over the western half of the exposed subway tunnels is completed. That portion has been covered up again with backfill and an engineered pad to support the site crane required for next steps has been constructed. TTC consultants have inspected the eastern half of the tunnel surface and the second phase of tunnel remediation is underway. /// TTC parandustööd paljastatud metrootunnelite läänepoolses osas on lõpetatud. See osa kaeti uuesti täitematerjaliga ja konstrueeritud padi, mis toetab järgmisteks sammudeks vajalikku kraanat. TTC konsultandid on üle vaadanud tunneli pinna idapoolne osa ning käimas on tunneli korrastamise teine etapp.
The caisson and pile caps along the southern edge of the site are formed and were poured in early June. This will prepare the area for the forming of the grade beams designed to support the transfer slab above. /// Kassooni- ja vaiapealdised piki mööda objekti lõunaserva on moodustatud ja said juuni alguses valatud. See valmistab objekti ülaltoodud hooviületava plaadi toetamiseks mõeldud talade moodustamiseks.
The basement of the heritage building is being completed for the new structural floor and perimeter walls, with shotcrete being used for the walls. Work continues on the connection between the existing heritage basement and the new basement already constructed. /// Muinsuskaitsealuse hooneosa keldrikorrus on valmimas uue konstruktsioonilise põranda ja piirdeseinte jaoks, mille seinteks on kasutatud pritsitud tehnikaga toorbetoon. Jätkuvad tööd olemasoleva muinsuskaitsealuse keldri ja juba ehitatud uue keldri vahelise ühenduse loomisel.
