All three buildings at Sommét Blanc are seeing continued progress. Crews have completed the concrete pour for Level One at Building C. They are currently working on Level One columns and shear walls and will soon start shoring and decking for Level Two. At Building B, they are working on columns, shear walls, and exterior waterproofing at the Basement Level. The west end of Building A is excavated, leveled, and being prepped for installation of the massive mat slab foundation.
