January was a slow month for progress. Winter set in hard with much colder weather and a bit of snow. However there were pockets of warmer days allowing the construction crew to continue moving forward with form work for the final concrete pour and laying up the clay block infill walls. Our on-site construction manager also held a "topping out" party which is a tradition in the U.S. when a building reaches its highest point for the structural system work. This was a special time for him and the leadership team from the school to thank the workers for their hard work on the project and encourage them for the work that is still ahead of them.
The construction team is looking forward to spring appearing soon so work can ramp back up to full capacity!
