Retaining Walls
The future parking lot at Fourth and Newell

8/10/06: Utility Preparations
 
This is the segmental retaining
wall which
will separate the new access drive from
the house we are converting to administrative use. Stairs will connect
the drive to the deck on the back of the house. |
This is the trench that was dug
for the
new fire line water service. It’s about 11’
deep and goes about 4’ underneath the
building before coming up through the
existing floor. |
 
This trench measures 3’ wide by 3’ deep
and will contain electrical feeds from the new middle school building.
The
old electrical service entrance will be replaced by a new one on Fourth
Avenue.
7/24/06: Grading and Excavating
 
These photos give an idea of how deep we have to
dig to build a good base for the new driveway. The
excavators
have dug down until
they hit soil firm
enough to lay down the bed of crushed rock. Utility
piping will be
laid on top of the tamped rock.
After excavating approximately 10 feet down, this manhole
is level and ready to be connected and backfilled around.
7/10/06: Site Preparation
 
Fencing
will shield the academic buildings for the duration of the school year
from the excavation and construction.
Water
utilities are moved into place at
corner of Newell St and 4th Avenue
N.
