Landscape and Riverbank Restoration – Restoration is progressing with plantings and topsoil down towards the East end of the Centennial Trail. Land Expressions is hoping to continue work after the trail opens so they can finish up the restoration before the end of the year (weather permitting).
Sewer and Water Utility Install – Sewer line has been diverted to flow through the new line down the Centennial Trail. Existing sewer line running East to West along the Convention Center has been decommissioned and will be grouted and abandoned. Water tie-in is taking place today. The City of Spokane will be on site to re-locate fire hydrant to the west side of the site and will perform tie-in at water vault.
Stormwater Prevention – Water Techtonics has been on site the last couple days commissioning the water filtration system and should be done today.
Building Survey – Caisson/Micropile locations have been laid out and layout on sectors D and E for footings and foundations should be complete by the end of the week.
Foundation Procurement – Garco will begin footing/foundation/elevator pit install in the parking garage sectors D & E next week. Drilling of caissons will begin next week on the west side of the project while the data and design on the East side finishes up. Once the East side design is completed we will start drilling in the Exhibit hall areas.
Loading Dock Construction – Once the existing fire hydrant is re-located today and line is decommissioned, we will be able to widen the road down towards the loading dock to aid trucks in getting positioned for deliveries when existing conex trailers are re-positioned to their final locations. Re-location of trash compactor will occur next week and temporary dumpsters will be brought in to serve the needs of the Double Tree while the construction is taking place.

Stone Creek was on site late Friday night and all day Saturday finishing up the tie-in at the East end under the bridge and grading out for paving. The excavation under the bridge took longer than expected due to running into unforeseen bridge foundations. Sewer and water systems were flushed out and pressure tested/camera tested and both passed. Stone Creek is finishing up with the water tie-in at the West end of the site and hauling off the rest of the contaminated soil pile.
Stormwater Prevention – Stone Creek is finishing up extending water line through stormwater swale. We should be able to place liner by the end of the week and Water Techtonics is scheduled to come back next week to commission system.
Centennial Trail – Inland Asphalt was on site Monday through yesterday finish grading and paving the Centennial Trail. A 2" lift of asphalt was applied to the trail to get through the winter and the final 2" will be applied next summer/fall when the project is closer to completion.
Building Survey – Existing data has been collected for the parking garage columns and has been put in the building model. The data collected is matching up with what has been drawn for this project so layout of the new gridlines will begin in the next day or so.
Foundation Procurement – Garco will have drill on site Monday to drill a couple test holes for caissons. Once grid is laid out, drilling for caissons and micropiles will begin on East end of project and move West.
