The majority of selective demolition work has been completed in all areas of the building including removal of the tilt -up concrete panels, CMU walls, framed partitions, and mezzanines as indicated. 2. The concrete floor slab has been removed inthe general area between column grid lines G - N and between 6A - 13. 3. The following. steel column locations were observed to have been damaged during.tbe demolition of tilt -up concrete panels: • Column grid line L-2 , L-4, and possibly L-5 as well. 4.

Some exterior wall panels have been damaged by demolition operations in the area along column grid line 1 between grid lines K and M. 7. Some concrete tilt -up panels located along column grid dine 8A have large holes broken out of the center of the panels: Clayco indicated that the --subcontractor started to remove these panels in error, when Clayco halted the demolition opgrations in this area. 8. In the former Boiler Room located between column grid lines K=L and 15-17, the flue piping (breaching) has collapsed through the roof, damaging a large section of the roof and roof decking. 9- The -bus duct located -on column line O between column grid lines 15 -and 17 has been temporarily supported with unistrut framing and, hanging rods. Where the bus duct penetrates the CMU wall along column grid line 15.5, the concrete block abovethe'opening have fallen down onto the bus duct. It appears no steel lintels were installed in this opening when the original construction was completed. 11.
