South Norfolk Pump Stations & Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project
Jack and Bore Extension and Pump Station Upper Wall Pour
Extension of 24-Hour Work
The non-stop, 24-hour hydraulic jack and bore work between Decatur Street and Rodgers Avenue to install new sewer pipeline that began on February 13th has been extended tentatively through March 15th. This 24-hour work, including nighttime pipe jacking, is necessary because once the pipe jacking effort begins the contractor is unable to stop until the jacking is complete. During this operation, you may hear noises such as hydraulic jacking, engines, backup alarms, diesel generators and motors. Your water and sewer service will not be disrupted.
Park Avenue Pump Station Concrete Pour Update
Follo
wing the pouring of the pump station’s lower walls and interior walls in February, our contractors will conduct a new concrete pour to carry out the forming of the new pump station’s upper walls.
The upper wall pour is tentatively scheduled as early as March 4th from 6AM – 5 PM. On the pour day, up to two pump trucks will be present on the new pump station construction site. A staging area for the concrete trucks feeding the pump truck will be present behind and in front of Rena B. Wright Elementary School with a wash-off area off Perry Street. Contractor staff or “flaggers” will be present to guide traffic on Park Avenue and Perry Street, but no lanes will be closed during this time.
While our project team works diligently to minimize impacts, you may notice increased noise and traffic, along with the people and heavy equipment (with back-up safety alarms) associated with construction. Please take care when traveling around the construction area and for your safety, do not enter the site. Due to the nature of construction, work is weather and situation dependent, and dates are subject to change.
