Kendal at Lexington is
committed to carrying out construction and renovations on our campus in the
safest possible manner. Yesterday when Nielsen Builders informed us that a
blast did not go as planned, we immediately halted all further work and began
investigating what had gone wrong. We
are deeply thankful that no injuries resulted from this mishap, and we are
working to determine what caused the problem.
We were grateful to have
the expertise of the Fire Marshal on site at the time, and before the blast
Kendal had been assured that all safety requirements had been taken into
account. The impact of this event on our neighbors' sense of safety and well-being is a
very serious issue, and we will be communicating with them about what happened
before work resumes.
We have directed Nielsen
Builders to advise Kendal of the result of their investigation, and we expect
to receive that information by close of business on Friday, June 15. We will
not allow any further blasting until we can ensure that it can be done in a completely
safe and controlled manner.
Again, our apologies.
