Project update for week ending August 20, 2021

The Creston Emergency Services Building project hit a very visual and important milestone on August 18, 2021 with the start of the physical building being erected. The crews from Eagle Builders arrived with the pre-fabricated panels and began the process of placing the walls upon the foundation.

Eagle Builders was awarded the contract to engineer, manufacture and install the precast concrete structure for the Creston Emergency Services Building. By using load-bearing insulated precast panels, the Town of Creston gained value in their post-disaster building with reduced construction time, longevity and very low maintenance. Since this structural system does not rust, mold or burn, this facility will be able to protect and serve the citizens for generations.

In February, Council made the decision to move towards a pre-cast concrete structure when it was determined that all other methods of building materials, primarily wood or steel, was more expensive based on the recommendation Michael Lewis of Chandos, Construction Manager for the Town of Creston.

Prior to the installation of the pre-cast concrete panels, the final installation of gravel, drain tile, foundation insulation and backfill was completed.

Moving forward into the week of August 23 to 27, the crews from Eagle Builders will continue installing pre-cast concrete panels, steel supports and roofing over the apparatus bays.
