Update / Teade # 217


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.
