Crane Lift November 30, 2012 - IMPORTANT
by Weaver, John R 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

I think most people in the building are aware of the errors by the contractor in the crane-lift plan last week. The BNC Facilities team, Purdue PUPF, and the contractor are all working to minimize the impact of the problem and the fact that the air handler was not lifted into place last week. The bottom line is that there will need to be two crane lifts to complete the job. THE FIRST LIFT IS THIS FRIDAY! The schedule for the first lift is definite, but the second lift has to be confirmed. Air Handler lift: Friday, November 30, 2012 (THIS FRIDAY!) Exhaust Fan lift: TENTATIVELY Monday, December 17, 2012 As indicated previously, all areas under the lift must be evacuated. Please see the attached slides! We apologize for the inconvenience that this error caused to all of you. We also thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this project. John John R.

CRITICAL SHUTDOWN NOVEMBER 21, 2012
by Weaver, John R 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

As part of the BNC Exhaust Expansion Project, an air handler will be lifted into the BNC by crane on Wednesday, 21 November 2012, the day before Thanksgiving Break. Because of the size and weight of this lift, NO PERSONNEL ARE ALLOWED UNDER THE LIFT RADIUS OF THE CRANE. This means that several areas of the building will be off limits all day on Wednesday, 21 November 2012. Included in this area are the Biocleanroom, portions of the two bays and one chase of the main cleanroom, some laboratories on the southeast area of the building, the maintenance shop, etc. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED POWERPOINT PRESENTATION TO SEE THE AREAS THAT ARE OFF LIMITS. Note that you will NOT be allowed to enter those areas during the day on Wednesday. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this necessary shutdown activity.
