From the latest Construction Alert: Forest City aims for second shift (until 11 pm) at B2 site; 50 trucks coming on June 4 for concrete pour

Atlantic Yards developer Forest City Ratner is turning up the pace at the site for the B2 modular tower, aiming to work a second shift, until 11 pm, on weekdays. That request is pending Department of Buildings approval, which, based on past history with arena construction, is almost assured.

That's according to the latest two-week Atlantic Yards Construction Alert, dated 5/27/13 and distributed yesterday by Empire State Development (after preparation by Forest City).

The document also describes a plan for 50 concrete truck deliveries on June 4 to complete a mat slab foundation. During that day, the pedestrian walkway outside the site, at Dean Street and Flatbush Avenue.

On another, unspecified day, the foundation walls will be poured, and 25 concrete trucks will make deliveries. And work on Saturdays will continue from 7 am to 6 pm.
