Building Project Update for 4/07/2026

The foundations for the retention walls have been poured and are curing.

The Building A footers are being dug out, soil tested, rebar structure fabricated, and concrete being poured.

Installation of the 2" forced main sewer line.  The line is being rerouted around the retention pond area.

Surveying will be expanded to accommodate additional capacity required for parking areas at the rear of the campus.

Grading will continue as the other items wrap up.

Duke Power crews were expected to be onsite at the end of last week to place the street lights in the North Lot.  The installation is only expected to take a few days.  Once the lighting is installed we can move forward with landscaping and signage.

The security system conversion continues.  Also, the design is being confirmed and adjusted by the ministries that will be using them.

As the design evolves we are moving into the stage where we are looking at developing documentation for maintenance and volunteer training for using the systems.  The goal is to have a system we are comfortable with and ready to use for maximum impact when we move into the new spaces.

The concrete contractor continued to work on footings for building “A”.  Soils were tested for compaction and rebar was inspected for compliance.  Flowable fill was placed in footings where poor soil was removed. (4 men)

Grading contractor installed the outflow piping in the detention pond contractor.  (4 men)

A sewage leak (approx. 100 gallons of clear water) was discovered near the detention pond structure.  A pipe was broken when a concrete truck drove over it when pouring the structure base.  The line was repaired and the sewage was pumped back into the sewer cleanout.

Weather conditions were clear with no rain.

Grading, concrete, plumbing, and electrical contractors were in attendance at the weekly safety meeting.

The concrete contractor continued digging footings for building “A”.   The footing closest to the existing building was inspected (third party and county) and poured. 

Concrete was poured around the outflow pipe to lock it into place. (4 men)
