Thursday, 7-14-11

There was a large amount of rain yesterday so therefore no posting. However, that large amount of rain led to an interesting day today. It rained so much it caused erosion issues at several areas around the job site. The traffic control box that controls the traffic signals became submerged in water and shorted out. This caused the lights to go out and the intersection was dark for several hours. You can imagine the phone calls and email traffic as a result. Rain has been a huge headache to say the least. The below picture is what happens when a inlet is overwhelmed with rain water.



Activities:

1. Hamon's structures crew removing the Type-7 barrier forms from the concrete pour yesterday morning.

2. Hamon digging a drainage trench along the embankment for the new South Parker Road.

3. JDR fixing various areas of erosion blankets and rock socks that blew out as a result of the heavy rains from yesterday.

4. WL Contractors on-site fixing the signal timing at the intersection.

5. Force account work involving digging and replacing a pipe to properly drain water across access road and S.B. Parker Road detour.
