The east Mary Risser. "'Although there side of the rotunda was 10 is still a tremendous amount inches higher than the west." To address the problem, of work to be done, we think we're still on target for fall engineers developed a system opening of the stabilized of micropilcs and foundation Quarry Exhibit Hall and the footings under each of the 10 support columns on the south new Visitor Center." "The National Park side of the building. Forty Service was forced to close micropiles were drilled an the Quarry Visitor Center in average of 40 to 60 feet down 2006 primarily because con- to solid rock. Each micropile struction techniques of the is an 8-inch hole with a rod in 1950s did not address the the center surrounded by conexpansive soils," Risser crete. Holes were grouted explained. "As a result, por- within three hours of being drilled. Extensive load testing of the micropiles was completed. Each of the 10 columns is attached to at least 4 micropiles. After the micropilcs were drilled, the contractor attached each of the 10 columns to a temporary steel shoring frame, lifted up the columns and then reset them on the final foundations. The shoring frames were placed on donage and then an air bag system jack carried and distributed the weight. Eight out of the 10 primary support columns were within 1 to 2 inches of each other, but on the east side of the building the ninth column was raised a few inches, and 10th column was between 7 and 10 inches higher than the others. While the columns were supported by the temporary shoring, the existing footings were exca- vated and demolished. Forms for the new footings were constructed, and the concrete was poured. The rehabilitation of the building has been an extremely complex project. First, the entire fossil wall had to be enclosed in a protective structure to ensure that none of the fossils would be damaged by the demolition and then the construction of the new building. Although it was expected that there was asbestos in the floor tile and in the wrapping around some of the pipes, the contractor found also it in the putty holding each of the windows in place, roofing materials, and dry wall materials. In addition, the paint from the 1950s contains lead. A considerable amount of time has been spent mitigating the hazards presented by asbestos and the lead-based paint.
