We are required to use “radon rock” under the building slab so that any radon gas that seeps out of the ground can go to the atmosphere instead of being trapped under the slab and eventually leaking into the building.

The location of the stormwater outfall line is very rocky.  This was a surprise.  It needs to be excavated four feet deep.  We thought we could do it with an air spade but that is not going to work.  We’ll need to use an excavator, and that means removing more trees than we had hoped.

Photos represent work completed through end-of-shift on March 25.  The last gravel corner is completed so now we have a complete gravel “frame” around the building site.  Rock base is beginning to be placed where the building slab will be poured in April.

Photos represent work completed through end-of-shift on March 22. As the gravel drive and parking is constructed like a frame around the building site, it is becoming easier to see the size and placement of the new facility!

Final driveway width established, building base for the building slab, more gravel, more boulders.  Even though construction is going on, we are still able to rent out the 7-foot-wide Tye no-till drill!


March 20, 2019

More excavation, gravel, and boulders.


March 20, 2019 morning: building permit issued!


March 19, 2019

More development of the west parking area.


March 18, 2019 afternoon

We begin to see hints of the size of the building as the front and west parking areas fill out.


March 15, 2019 afternoon

A lot more rock gets spread in what will be the front parking lot.  Boulders encountered!

Plenty of activity centered on the front parking area!

The excavation company discovered that the ground east of the driveway was very soft and full of roots.  We approved a change order to excavate more material so that a thicker rock base could be installed to support the wider driveway.

Note the tree roots west of the driveway!
