When Victory Ridge Academy came to us to help them build a better school in Davenport, A.O. Construction leapt at the opportunity. We’d previously worked with them on a project in Lake Wales, and we were honored they chose to work with us yet again.
This project involves two phases, which see us building seven total buildings, including two Early Learning Classrooms (ELCs), an administration building, a gym, a cafeteria, and two buildings to be used as skills labs. Currently, we’re in Phase One of the project, which sees us building one of the ELCs, as well as the admin building and gym.
In early October, we introduced you to the project as we started on these buildings with stem walls and roughed in plumbing and electrical. Now, we’re back with another update as we complete the foundations for the gym and prep the other buildings to lay down the slab.
Let’s take a look at how things are shaping up!
Before pouring the slab for the gym, we prepared the foundation by laying down the internal structure.
With everything set up, we poured the slab for the gym.
Now that we’ve completed pouring the slab, we must wait for it to completely set. Even though you can typically walk on concrete after 24 to 48 hours after, did you know it usually takes about 28 days to reach its full strength?
Meanwhile, we’re working on completing the stem walls for the ELC building.
We’re also making great progress on the underground electrical and plumbing over at the future administration building.
We began sitework for this project back on July 1. At our current pace, we expect to finish the ELC and administration building by July of next year, with the other buildings to follow. It’s a lot of action going on all at once, and it makes for quite an exciting job site!
