A portion of the construction on the Levinson project has stopped after complaints were received from downtown businesses and residents regarding vibrations from the pounding of construction materials into the ground.

A few downtown businesses reported damage to their building’s masonry and items falling off shelves due to the vibrations.

A statement issued by the City of Noblesville to the Hamilton County Reporter said:

“The decision to halt sheeting installation was made last week. The city discussed its concerns about the process and feedback shared by nearby tenants about the vibrations. It was decided to stop operations and look into other options. The construction team is preparing to mobilize a different method, which will efficiently speed up this work and cause less vibrations. In the meantime, the existing sheet piles that are sticking up out of the ground will be pulled up and removed.”

Robert Herrington, Communications manager for the City of Noblesville, said the shutdown is only for sheeting material installation. Utility work and limited excavation will continue.
