Today our second crane arrived on site once again blocking half of Ocean Blvd. While the equipment was being delivered. Two cranes are needed to move materials until the construction elevator is built.Almost all of the ground level columns have been poured and reinforced with steel. In a couple weeks, the first floor will be poured. This will provide needed space to layout construction materials for Bahama Sands Beach Resort. Pouring the first floor is an exciting time for all of the development team. It signifies Bahama Sands has started climbing upward to its eventual height of over 135 ft.
During the past week, long lines of concrete trucks lined up to puor the thousands of tons of concrete underground required the Southern Buildind Code. Much of the extra strength and weight is considered to meet the earthquake requirements, although nobody can remember this area ever having an earthquake. Homeowners appreciate the extra concrete and steel several stories underground to create a stronger building meant to last for many decades.
