Tying Up Loose Ends - part 5

Diamond golf put the  the finishing touches on the bridge abutment on  #14 green bridge by end of last week on Friday 4/8/22. The finished product incorporated native cobbles and rock which I think looks good. Additionally they wrapped up sod repair on #13 tee.

J&S Asphalt formed the new stairwell at the cart barn on Monday 4/11/22 as planned, but dident get the concrete poured because of light rain, so are going to pour the stairs today Tuesday 4/12/22. 

Along with the concrete being poured at the cart barn, we will be working on installing some electrical service through the edge of #3 tees this week. We have set up the  teeing area away from the work to keep the distraction to a minimum. 

Additionally the heart of our operation, the pumpstation , will be replaced starting Tuesday 4/12/22. This work is in the far northern end of the parking lot, so it wont be a distraction to members, but definitely worth mentioning. I will be doing some ongoing pump station replacement updates this week for those who are interested. 

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

#13 Tee

Electrical conduits being installed adjacent to #3 Tee. We will be working on some additional sections along cart path the week of 4/12/22 through 4/15/22. 

Associated work with replacing pump station includes intake screen replacement and cleaning around associated intake pipe. Picture above depicts our diver, Gary Borton, who does this kind of work for golf courses all over Northern California.

Work on the bridge on #14 continued on Tuesday with installation of the gabion baskets and the tedious work of filling them with rock. The second tier of baskets under the bridge will be a little trickier to fill as the baskets will be a bit tight so we will likely get started on  them  on Wednesday. All in all, the process has been uneventful so far as construction workers and golfers have been in perfect sync.

Awaiting news on sod installation for the upper and middle tee levels of #13 tee. I'm hoping to get sod contractor to install with big rolls which would produce far less seams and allow us to get back on the tee sooner. Below are some pictures of Tuesdays progress.

 Bridge work on #14 got started today with excavation of the broken concrete re-enforcement pieces we quickly installed years ago. Those concrete pieces are being removed for re-purposing or disposal at a later date. Contractor will use gabion baskets filled with rock to shore up the exposed bank and bridge footing. Below are some pictures of first day of work in this area. I'll post more as this project progress's.

Here we are doing some hand excavation under the bridge to facilitate gabion baskets beside the bridge footing to prevent potential erosion. 

Thanks.
