Water Flow Test on March 11

March 8, 2019  |  Seattle Children's Hospital Campus  |  Post Comment

On Monday, March 11, crews will perform a water flow test at the hospital. For approximately 30 minutes, a large amount of water will be discharged from test ports on the south side of Forest A (the Friends of Costco Building). Most of the water will drain into catch basins on Seattle Children’s property, but some will likely drain into the stormwater system on 40th Avenue NE as well. If you see water draining from the hospital that day, there is no need to be alarmed — this is a planned and controlled test.

March 4, 2019  |  Building Care, Construction Updates, Seattle Children's Hospital Campus  |  Post Comment

Building Care construction is underway. From now until building opening in Spring 2022, there will be ongoing construction activity at the hospital campus. Seattle Children’s will publish a weekly post on this Construction Blog that outlines the work expected to occur the following week. We will also post to this blog whenever a construction activity will be especially impactful to neighbors.

From March 11 to March 17, construction crews are scheduled to perform the following activities:

  • Excavation
  • Install “lagging” to prevent cave-ins during earthwork
  • Install tie backs/anchors for retaining walls
  • Pour and strip concrete retaining wall
  • Internal activities in Forest A: fire pump replacement work; demolition; install new fire sprinkler valves; saw cutting for reroute of ducts; demolish existing ducts; welding; install infection prevention barriers; core drilling; reframe walls in stairwell 1; install firestops; install new electrical pathways; pour equipment pads

Construction noise will be generated throughout the week. The noisiest external work will be installing tie backs/anchors, which will take place all week. The noisiest internal work will be the core drilling and demolition.

Expect heavy truck traffic all week as excavated soil is hauled away from the site. Construction activity is weather-dependent and subject to change based on conditions.

All work will take place within standard construction hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
