Construction is Under Way!
October 1, 2008
Portland’s South Waterfront District looking southward from the 15th floor eco-terrace of the OHSU Center for Health & Healing. Jobsite activity at Mirabella (lower left-center in photo) continues steadily forward.
A bird’s-eye view of the Mirabella construction site from the northwest. The first slab-on-grade concrete pour is taking place in the southeast quadrant of the garage level. Placement of driven grout pilings, approximately 80% complete, continues at the northern half of the site, with completion targeted in mid-October
View above of the southern half of the Mirabella jobsite, looking eastward. The first slab-on-grade pour is in process at the southeast quadrant of the jobsite (photo background). In the photo foreground, pile caps and grade beams, surrounded by compacted backfill and crushed rock awaits placement of reinforcing steel for the next slab-on-grade pour, about a week away.
Visible in the photo above is a close-up view showing the placement of slab-on-grade concrete at the southeast corner of the Garage Level. Concrete finish at the Garage Level will be a heavy groove to aid tire traction.
Garage level vertical columns are anticipated to receive formwork, then placed concrete later this same week.
Early next week, shoring systems for the first elevated deck (the Ground Floor) will begin to be staged at the southern half of the site.
