- Greater Lawrence Sewer District (GLSD) hired a contractor to perform a robotic scope of the 42 in cement pipe located across the rear of the property, approximately 2 ft below grade.
- Received schematic diagrams from GLSD detailing the layout of the sewer pipe, easement & the zone of influence. Installed steel plates and approximately 2 ft of fill over the plates per GLSD requirements for equipment weight distribution.
- Installed temporary fencing around the area to be excavated.
- Excavated approximately 1500 - 2000 cubic yards of contaminated soil from the southeast side of the property and staged for disposal.
- Pumped approximately 4900 gallons of ground water from the excavation pit into a holding tank. Water will be properly disposed of once a permit is obtained from GLSD.
- Areas within the building where the concrete floor had deteriorated were patched with new concrete. All other holes within the building floor were also patched with new concrete.
- Lined the excavated pit with poly and began the backfilling operations with approximately 2 ft of 3/4 in crushed stone.
