Mobilization and Start of Work

Well the contractor and their sub-contractors have started moving onsite to start work on the project.  The majority of the equipment and mobilization at this point will be concentrated in the southern portion of the project between the railroad tracks and Sunrise Pointe Golf Course where the initial work will begin.

Lundell Construction, project contractor,  unloads shoring equipment at the Sunrise Pointe Golf Course.

The work on the golf course is the priority work for the first phases of the project per the contract documents and so the majority of the work at least for the next month or so will be centered in this area.  The actual first work that will be done will be the two pipes that will be bored under existing structures, HWY 71/7 and the railroad overpass.  The boring company is mobilizing at this point as well.

Some additional utility work will occur before boring can begin under the railroad tracks.  Utility company crews along with Lundell Construction were busy this afternoon working on clearing ground for the moving of underground utility lines in anticipation of the bore next week.

A large excavator moves dirt in anticipation of utility work.

With the weather warming up and conditions improving the City will be looking to open up Sunrise Pointe Golf Course in the near future.  During these early months both golf activities and construction activities are going to have co-exist on the course at the same time.  Golfers should be alert to construction equipment active around holes one (1) and nine (9) and take extra precautions to ensure that they are safe while enjoying their round of golf.
