Volvo Car Stadium has provided the POA with upcoming dates and times for upcoming early morning concrete pours at the stadium. These dates/times may have slight adjustments based on weather:
- Friday, 7/23 – 2 AM Start
- Friday, 7/30 – 2 AM Start
- Tuesday, 8/3 – 2 AM Start
These early morning placements are important to prevent major traffic congestion during rush hour, makes the roads safer to have the heavy vehicles off the road for rush hour, shortens the duration of the placement, allows the concrete finishers to complete the finishing before the dead heat of the day, keeps the concrete temperature within specification range due to summer heat, etc.
While noise is not allowed from 7 PM to 7 AM during the week, below is a snip of the City of Charleston construction operation noise ordinance that allows special pours like this:
Sec. 21-17. – Building construction operation noise
B(4). Concrete pouring; provided, however, that 48-hours’ advance notice shall be provided to all residents impacted by such activity.
While Volvo will be operating within the city ordinance, please note that they have directed the crews to minimize the noise as much as humanely possible.
