Pump Station Progress: K&R continues to move forward with the pump station work. The rail system has been installed extending nearly 30′ deep for the installation of the wetwell. This pump station is replacing the existing wastewater pump station across the street once complete and will have a higher capacity to take in additional growth in the area.
Force Main Progress: Pipe installation along James Street is nearing completion as K&R works to restore this portion of the project. The bore & jack operations have begin near the Wesco gas station north of River Hills Drive. This is a key element for the project, as the utility crossing under the CSX railroad. K&R and their boring subcontractor Lowe plan to have the casing under the tracks completed by the end of this week (April 5th).
Upcoming Work:
Pump Station Progress: Wetwell walls plan to be formed in preparation for concrete pour in the coming weeks.
Force Main Progress: Lowe will move to the next bore & jack under Lakewood Blvd in the coming weeks. Once the casing pipes are installed, the HDPE force main carrier pipe can but pushed inside the casing. K&R will be installing force main pipe along River Hills drive, starting at the railroad tracks and install south.
