December Week Two

The work has been just moving along as usual, so today, we will show you a couple of aerial photos taken by our friend at Aerial Images NW.


These shots were taken last week.























FRIDAY of this week, the plan is to work on the sewer system by Brassfield, and utility work at Village Drive.  You will be on just one gravel lane, guided by cones and flaggers.




Ever wonder what a day of construction might comprise of along Yelm Highway?  Well, taking into account a very rainy day and working around and under live gas lines, phone lines, brittle water lines, electrical, and allowing 20,000 vehicles through, the contractor has installed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday approximately...

150 Tons of asphalt patching
575 Cubic Yards of gravel for trench backfill
400 Feet of 10" HDPE Sanitary Sewer Pipe @ 9' Depth
210 Feet of 12" Storm sewer pipe between 5-15' depth
91 Feet of 24" Storm sewer pipe, between 5-15' depth
500 Feet of 12" ductile iron water main @ 5' Depth
4 48" Catch Basins
...not bad for weather that is difficult to drive through!
