Week 37, Part 1- Sludge Basin, Phos Tanks & Owens crew

When we left last week, we were ready to pour a concrete slab at the "Sludge Basin". This is where a trailer or truck will park and receive the pressed sludge material through the wall on the left. The discharge pipe has not been installed through the wall yet-

The 2nd set of tanks for the Phosphorous Removal building arrived-

Each tank had to be shimmed and positioned accurately for future piping-



Paul and Greg from the City of Plummer look over the on-going work-

Here the Owens crew digs a shallow trench for an electrical conduit duct bank. That installation will continue in Part 2 of Week 37-
