Today’s update is more about the lack of activity than it is about progress. As you can see in the photo below, the bus box hole has been transformed into a reflecting pool for the Four Seasons Hotel. The Kiewit crew is still waiting for the permit to fire up the new dewatering system that will drain the hole so work can resume. There appears to be no more than 15 workers on site this afternoon. Looking at the site from above, it seems that there is about one worker per acre of jobsite. They are rearranging staged materials, smoothing roadways, and fussing with the new dewatering system. It looks pretty much like a ghost town compared to the past few months of nonstop activity with dozens of pieces of equipment scurrying about, moving massive amounts of dirt, and building infrastructure. (For background on the delay, see Update #20).
Today, I uploaded another 13 photos to our Denver Union Station page at JobSiteVistor.com.
I will be vacationing in Alaska until July 5. When I return, I hope work has resumed and there is plenty of progress to report. If not, you will have to tolerate my photos of Denali instead.
Hi Rick – I see a big dirt pile behind the 1601 Wewatta sign that was put up by Sunshine Development several years ago. Do you know any more details about that project – is Shears Adkins the architect on the job? Is this part of Union Station? Will it really be all aspects as advertised – Commercial, residential & a hotel? Is sunshine still the development company?
Thanks for your updates.
