Below ground there will be a maze of pipes and wires and we are working to get some of the lines in place before the timberframe arrives and construction starts next Monday.

We will have pipes leading into catch basins for the roof drains, a pipe bringing well water into the building for domestic use, pipes bringing water for the geothermal heating and cooling system, pipes for the septic system, wires for the electrical service,  and wires for parking lot lights and signage – not to mention three 450 foot deep geothermal wells and a separate well for domestic water.  The yellow plastic in the foreground is a stormwater detention tank; the aqua-blue pipes will channel the water collected in the gutters to the tank, and the cement column  is a base for a parking lot light.

All of this requires careful coordination and precise work with heavy machines.   Tony Nenna, of On-Site Engineering, is responsible for the site plan.   Morrone Excavation is doing the site work.  Brendan Friend levels a light pole base while Tim Place applies a gentle touch with the backhoe.
