Two Week Look Ahead (6/16 through 6/27): LKSC, SIM1, Phase 1B Utilities, Tunnel, Loading and Receiving Dock and RAF Ramp construction projects
Li Ka Shing Learning and Knowledge Center
Over the course of the last week the most significant of the permit issues worked themselves out enabling an 1100 yard concrete pour on the foundation last Wednesday night. The School has additionally elected to implement more extensive than anticipated waterproofing restoration along the west and south walls. Work will continue in the sequence of events enumerated below:
- Install the rebar and embeds on the North and East walls.
- Spray shotcrete on the North and East walls.
- Form the West walls.
- Install the waterproofing on the West wall.
- Install the rebar and embeds on the West walls.
- Spray shotcrete on the West wall.
- Form South the walls.
- Install the waterproofing on the South wall.
- Install the rebar and embeds on the South walls.
- Spray the shotcrete on the South walls.

General
So as you can tell we have been busy . . . there is construction now in every nook and cranny of the old L-15 and L-16 parking lot! To help us out with the parking situation Parking and Transportation has agreed to, and has now scheduled, the pavement maintenance on the Stockfarm surface parking lot. I have pasted in their recent notice of work below. Come November and the rain, we will all be very happy that this work was completed. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that the work causes this summer.
"FYI – summer’s pavement maintenance time is near – the Stockfarm lots running N > S from Oak Rd to Stockfarm – parallel to Welch and Campus Drive – will be impacted during the second half of July to August 1.
Work will be done in 3 phases to minimize the inconvenience. We’ll post notices accordingly as we get closer to 7/14/08.
Now is the time to share any questions or concerns you may have regarding impacts. Marguerite service should not be impacted aside from temporarily moving a little used stop (shelter) inside L-18, by Oak and Welch Rds. http://transportation.stanford.edu/images/07-08_Parking-Map.pdf "

Please find below the anticipated construction activities for the weeks of 5/26 and 6/2 for the LKSC, Loading Dock & Tunnel, Utilities 1B, RAF Ramp Relocation and projects.
Li Ka Shing Center for Learning & Knowledge
- Finish installing the rebar in the building footings
- Pending receipt of the building permit - pour the elevator and sump pits
- Seek rebar inspection by the County
- Pour the concrete footings (night pour if approved)
- Begin putting in the rebar on the North and East Walls
- Begin setting up the form panels on the West side of the building
Tunnel
- The backfill of the tunnel will be complete by June 12th.
NIBBI Concrete will clean and "sack & patch" the tunnel beginning on June 2nd.
- The MEP "rough-in" in the tunnel will follow.
Receiving Area
- The emergency stair risers will be complete by May 30th.
- The shoring and form work for the Receiving Dock concrete lid is in progress. The concrete lid is scheduled to be fully completed by June 2nd.
- The CMU (concrete masonry unit) walls at the Utilities Room are completed
Loading Dock
- The walls are being sprayed with shotcrete and are scheduled to be completed the week of May 26th.
- Underground utilities (storm, fire) will be installed and completed by May 30th.
- Top Grade will haul away the final dirt (referred to as spoils at this point) and begin placing rock for the "slab on grade" on June 3rd.
Phase 1B Utilities
Recall that the major work of the Utilities 1B project right now is moving generators so that we can create an open park-like quad at the front of the School unimpeded by the row of generators that have previously existed along Campus Drive. This is a complex project required to turn what was previously our "back door" into our "front door." The next two weeks activities will be focused on completing the move of the Clark Center generator (see attached photo of the actual move) and removing the temporary generator that is currently in the parking lot.
- By the end of the week, the generator feeders and make-up wires will be connected at the generator
- 5/28 - the fuel tank was tested with the county hazmat officials and the fire marshall
- Stanford will fill the fuel tank on 5/29
- There will be electrical inspections for the generator on 5/30 & 6/2
- Test fire alarm and response to security on 6/3 & 6/4
- Bring the Clark generator back on line 6/5 - (during this period there will be no emergency power)
- Disconnect and begin removing the temporary generator
RAF Ramp Relocation
Recall that this project is to relocate the ramp down to the RAF loading dock so that the entrance is directly from Campus Drive as opposed to through the area that used to be our parking lot and will become our main entrance or "front door" to the School.
- Final row of tiebacks are scheduled to be pull tested on May 30th.
- Final excavation to follow the tieback pull tests the week of June 2nd.
- Waterproofing to begin on the walls during the week of June 2nd.
Cheers!
