Installing the last part of the foundation and back filling

Today, working in the rain, the foundation for the back side of the school is being installed and the construction workers are back filling the side foundations. At times we can feel the vibrations in our classrooms as the workers compact the back fill.

Steel being installed

It is amazing how quickly the building is taking shape. The steel supports are being installed as they are being delivered. Even in the rain the steel workers are installing the steel beams.

Materials keep arriving to the site

Each day more and more materials keep arriving to the new site. Somedays it seems when one truck leaves the next truck is right behind it. Most of the materials are being off loaded to the new parking lot surface.

Geothermal wells being drilled

Geothermal wells are being drilled by two drilling towers. The students are thrilled when the water shoots from the well before workmen install the black piping. When completed, the new building will be heated and cooled using geothermal energy.

Parking lot and lights installed

Parking lot and driveways to the new site have been installed. This is the first coat, a second coat or finished coat will be installed before the opening of the new school.

March 14 and 15th the new septic system was connected to the old building until the new building is completed. The school was closed for the weekend until the septic system was back on line. Progress on the site is moving fast and it is amazing to see how quickly the construction workers move the material around the site.
