Demolition Nears Completion At The Wellington School
Belmont, MA
W. L. French Excavating Corporation, under contract with NASDI of Waltham, MA and Skanska as the CM, has been working on the demolition and foundation excavation for the Wellington School in Belmont, MA.
"This school was the original Belmont Highschool," said Bill French, Sr. "Most of my family attended this school while it was the highschool and my daugther, Lisa attended this school as an elementary student. There are a lot of memories and family ties to this school and this town. We are proud to be part of this project in my home town."
Currently, the new foundation is being prepped for pouring. There is a well-point dewatering system that is controlling the ground water during the foundation construction phase of the project. There is a large export of material off-site that the French fleet will be responsibile for handeling. Material import is expected to be of large volume as well and is also being performed by French.
"The project includes the demolition of an existing two and three-story structure and the construction of a new building configured into two buildings connected by a one-story core that houses the administrative offices, media center, and music rooms.
The town of Belmont intends to produce a certified Massachusetts High-Performance Green School as defined by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), who is providing a portion of the funding for this project. The resulting design incorporates numerous innovative and sustainable concepts including the use of geothermal wells for heating and cooling, high efficiency mechanical systems, and significant window areas to increase daylighting. These green components are designed to provide an enhanced environment for students and staff, decrease operating costs, and reduce the school's impact on the natural environment."
