Quick observations on the Parking Garage.
Above: Site Progress as of 2:30 pm
I noticed waterproofing had begun two weeks ago then abruptly stopped. After paying closer attention to the area that had been completed (below left) I came up with a possible reason why work had stopped. The waterproofing had been added to the precast wall and beam members from the ground floor to the top. I thought it was odd that they would coat the architectural grade precast, but pushed the thought out of my mind and figured they were running exterior stone to the top.
Today the waterproofing resumed on the other precast wall, only it remained only on the precast concrete walls and NOT on the architectural precast. Hence, lesson learned. Confirm area to be waterproofed before allowing sub to execute work. The waterproofing was delayed at least two weeks, which could be due to inclement weather, or due to the error in coverage which led to time being used to find a solution. Notice the waterproofing on either side of the precast wall at the lower-right. I think there was some sort of chemical product used to remove the waterproofing. I would be interested to learn how the issue was trully resolved.
