SITE CONSTRUCTION
& STAKING VISIT
REP: Tony Altum
PROJECT: Brays Island
STAKING VISIT NO: 2 DATE(S): June 10, 2011
INSTALLATION PROGRESS: Installation on the main line is totally complete with the exception of two main street bores and a couple of road crossings along with the tie ins. There still needs to be a major flushing on all the main line piping prior to lateral installation once the main is hooked up. There was a discussion with Mike from Brays in regards to the possibility of adding fire hydrants to the main line irrigation piping for either drafting purposes or for actual fire line access for residents. Altum will be sending a main line routing to Mike for the fire chief to identify local hydrant locations. Altum will also be advising the club as to the possibilities of utilizing the main line piping and how the pump station should be upgraded for this purpose. Rain Bird will be sending a pump station representative out the week of the 20th of June to review the present pump station operation as it might be upgraded to handle the possibility of the fire protection line. Having some sort of telemetry between the central control, pump station and some sort of flow meter or flow identifier at the fire hydrants are all items to be reviewed.
STAKING: Holes #14, 15 and 16 were staked and gps’d and reviewed by Jeff from the club. There were an additional 6 sprinklers added in rough areas that were not a part of the original plan as well as some deviation in the staking in the field. Jeff should review the sprinklers that may be in question and hold off on installing them till the end of the project as it is easy to go back and add a sprinkler off the IC system. This will keep the project on track as far as budget is concerned. As each hole is laid out and GPS’d, as stakes are attached to this report and once installed, IC codes will be provided to Altum for final programming. The hydraulic tree is being constructed at Altum office and will be ready for quick turn around via the internet for operation from the central.
SPECIFICATION CHANGES:
OTHER ITEMS: Fire Protection: Upon the next visit I should have some information regarding costs and feasibility of installing hydrants for drafting water for fire protection.
