The Project Moves On

     After a lot of hard work and battling the elements, the project moved on with Phase I being completed. There were a few problems encountered along the way. The first surprise was that the existing drain pipe coming from the shaft was not actually connected! The original idea of connecting directly to the pipe had to be scraped leaving Grguric Excavation no choice but to dig out the existing pipe and around the shaft. Just when things were coming back together, the existing flow valve was corroded and unusable. This forced the contractor to build a new valve to be used in the project. To make a long story short, A new pipe connected to the shaft and many leaks around the shaft were sealed. Once this work was done, the discharge was directed across the dam where the new flow valve was installed.
     After the work around the shaft was completed, the pipe for taking the discharge down to the treatment area arrived. As it turned out, the truck drive was from Oklahoma and was astonished that he was able to get his truck to the site. Once the pipe was unloaded, it was time to start digging the trench. Within a week, the pipe was laid and buried, and the entire site was heavily seeded and mulched. This completed Phase I of the project.
