From the start, the construction team faced the challenge of performing site work and placing concrete in sub-zero temperatures. Through detailed planning and work sequencing, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP used a Lean construction approach to create an efficient workflow. In addition to working on a tight project site with limited laydown, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP operated directly abutting another construction firm that was performing work next door. This required ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP to coordinate and communicate work activities with the abutting project team as well as develop a detailed logistics plan.
