As we step into 2025, we are thrilled to update everyone on the substantial progress made at Tuohy Gardens, Midland's leading sustainable apartment development. Our recent site photo from late December 2024 shows the structural steel framework is taking shape, with the tower crane now actively in operation. This is a pivotal moment in our journey towards creating an eco-friendly living space.
Completed Works
Our mission to construct a sustainable community has reached numerous key milestones.
The initial phase involved site preparation and demolition, which laid the groundwork for what’s to come. This process included clearing debris from the half-acre site, allowing for a clean start to the construction.
Following that, we completed the Western Power infrastructure relocation, which was crucial in moving overhead lines underground. This relocation not only improves aesthetics but also enhances safety for future residents.
Next, we undertook Water Corporation drainage diversions to reroute existing water lines. This crucial work prepares the site for comprehensive water management, with a projected reduction of flooding risk by 30% in the area.
The basement excavation and preparation was completed successfully, yielding a 12-foot deep foundation that offers robust support for the structure.
Simultaneously, we installed the crane base to prepare for vertical construction, ensuring that the crane can operate safely and efficiently.
Most recently, we began the steel framework erection, which marks a significant phase in the development. This framework will be able to support approximately 50% more weight than traditional construction methods, reflecting our commitment to high standards.
Alongside these activities, in-ground services installation has commenced, laying crucial infrastructure for utilities, including electricity, water, and internet connectivity.
Reflecting upon these completed works, we celebrate the meticulous planning and execution that ensures ongoing smooth construction.
Current Activities
As of January 2025, our construction team is engaged in several vital activities propelling the project forward.
The installation of the steel core is progressing seamlessly and adds critical support to the building. This core will serve as the backbone for the entire structure, enhancing safety.
In addition, we are diligently working on the ground level footings for the eastern section, vital for stability. The new footings are designed to withstand up to 20% more load than previous designs, ensuring longevity and resilience.
At the same time, the ground floor structural steel installation is in full swing. This installation helps shape the building's form, moving us closer to completion.
Preparations for the ground slab works are also ongoing. This step is essential for ensuring the durability of the apartments, with the concrete slab expected to last over 30 years with proper maintenance.
Lastly, our team is focused on services coordination and installation, ensuring all systems work efficiently together. This coordination is key in managing electricity, water, and air conditioning, contributing to the overall functionality of the apartments.
Site Progress Highlights
The recent site photo captures vital elements of progress that showcase our development's momentum.
The tower crane installation marks a crucial leap forward, allowing for efficient material handling and speeding up various construction processes. This crane can lift materials weighing up to 1,500 pounds, enhancing our capacity to build effectively.
The steel framework now clearly defines the building's structure, translating architectural blueprints into tangible progress.
With the completion of site preparation and leveling, the area is primed for upcoming developments, ensuring a solid foundation for the construction ahead.
To maintain safety on site, we have installed temporary fencing and safety measures, highlighting our commitment to keeping everyone safe.
Overall, there is evident progress on the building's foundational elements, a critical step towards finishing Tuohy Gardens.
Looking Ahead
With ongoing activities and completed stages, Tuohy Gardens is set to become a benchmark for sustainable living in Midland.
Our dedication to environmental stewardship shines through in both our construction methods and the innovative design principles guiding the project.
We envision these apartments as a blend of modern conveniences and eco-friendly living, raising the bar for community developments across the region.
As we advance through 2025, we invite the community to stay engaged with Tuohy Gardens. Regular updates will keep everyone informed about our journey and milestones reached.
Embracing the Future
Tuohy Gardens symbolizes a powerful investment in sustainable living for Midland's future.
The progress achieved reflects our commitment to quality construction, safety, and environmental respect.
Looking toward the completion of this premier sustainable development, we remain dedicated to transparency and connecting with the community.
We encourage everyone to follow along as Tuohy Gardens transforms the landscape, contributing to a greener, more sustainable future for all.
By coming together, we can create a living environment that meets today's needs while building a solid foundation for future generations.
The journey has just begun, and the future looks bright!
