Water Treatment Plant

Concrete is continuing to be placed with at least two pours a week. Generally, one pour of concrete is 50-75 cubic yards. The interior walls of the subgrade level have begun to take shape. Those of you who are able to visit the site can see quite a maze of walls in the clear well area.

At the end of January, Wells Concrete began production of the precast wall panels for the new WTP. Last week several of us visited Wells, MN and observed the process they use to construct precast walls and beams. I have attached a photo of one of the first ones to be completed. Wells will also be casting several double-tee beams for the roof of the new plant later this summer.

Water Treatment Plant

After taking the week between Christmas and New Year's off the contractors are back to work. The weather has cooperated up until today as temperatures begin to fall and the talk of snow is in the forecast. Yesterday about 70' of wall was poured with another concrete pour scheduled for Friday of this week. Material continues to arrive and is being stored on-site. Some of the material includes, steel rebar, ductile iron piping, ductile iron pipe sleeves, and other miscellaneous pipe fittings.
