Much progress has been made for Indian River County Fire Rescue's new EMS / Fire Station #7 in Fellsmere, since our last update in June. Two IRC crew members stopped by to check on progress and we'd like to share updates with you.
In August, the sheet metal roof was completed and construction moved mostly to the interior of the building. The shiny red folding doors were installed on the front of the engine bay and the roll-up doors were installed on the back side. Portions of the driveway were poured around to the back. Additionally, gutters and downspouts were installed and the building exterior was painted.
September saw the completion of the interior framing, insulation and drywall, finishing and taping. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing were completed up until the grid went in at the beginning of October. The remainder of the driveways were poured, totalling 950 yards of concrete. Final grade on road and drainage completed, as well as sod and fencing installations.
Progress continues indoors in October, with pulling wire for electrical and tiling in the bathrooms. We are also now working on the 1,600 ft. long public road which will connect the Fire Station to 98th Avenue with 2 traffic lanes and a bike lane on each side. Next up will be interior painting, acoustical ceiling grid work, hanging lights, A/C diffusers, fire alarm fixtures and exit devices.
The 9,035 square foot Fire Station/EMS Building will serve Indian River County residents located in Fellsmere, FL. The space will be split between 10 dorm rooms, an office, facility and equipment storage, as well as a three-bay apparatus room. Stay tuned to @wjconstruction321 for more updates as they happen.
