This progress update provides information on construction works completed over the past 3 weeks on an ITS project. Key accomplishments include stripping out mechanical and electrical systems, demolishing outbuildings, completing asbestos removal, excavating for the new basement, and beginning first fix M&E works. Over the next 2 weeks, excavation will continue and the basement slab will be poured with concrete after installing reinforcement. Internal damp proofing of the basement will also be finished.
