Atherton Town Center - Project Activity
Overall project work this week focused on underground electrical to the buildings, utilities to the City Hall elevator, installation of grade beams and rebar at City Hall, formation of the curbs and stem walls for the Library, and work on the underground plumbing to the Library.
Live webcams for Library and City Hall/PD Building are active on the Town's website. There is also a project progress photo gallery.
City Hall and Police BuildingFor the new City Hall and Police Building this week, Amoroso finished and poured the elevator pit walls and began installation of the grade beams and rebar forming the perimeter of the building.

Historic Town Hall
Demolition of the interior of the historic Town Hall building is complete. This building will ultimately become a part of the new Library connected via a deck and french doors that spill out from the side of the building onto the new deck. Work on this building will be sealed up for the winter season as work continues elsewhere on the project site. Once the interior work begins, work will resume on the historic Town Hall building.
Library Building
Most of the work this week focused on the forms for the Library foundations and walls. You can certainly see the Library taking shape. Work also continued moving in the underground plumbing to the building.
In the image to the right, you can see the main wall angling back to the historic Town Hall on the right. Atop this wall will be the entry doors into the children's area from the deck. The gap between walls on the left of the image is the entry ramp going into the library. You can see both in the rendering below.

Amoroso is also working on the mock up of the rammed earth wall that will traverse the east wall of the new Library.
Site Work
Site work this week continued to focus on utilities as the contractor works out issues related to undergrounding of the utilities, the SFPUC water line, water and sewer. Storm drain work is also continuing. Once all this underground work completes, Amoroso can seal up the holes and the buildings will begin to go vertical. We expect the foundations to be complete and concrete slabs to be poured by the end of this year. After that, steel will begin its installation as the buildings go vertical.
