Preparing for the Foundation and Starting the Hannan Road Entrance

What a week it has been!

With the site cleared from last week's efforts, preparations are underway to ready the ground and prepare for the "building pad." This is the area which will serve as the foundation for the building. Excavators are digging a trench around the perimeter of the new building to pour the footings. As always, safety is a key concern so there will always be an area left for evacuation and a clear path in and out of the areas of the current building which may be affected.  Workers will even out the ground and lay stone and material for a level foundation.

Finally, excavators are simultaneously working to ready the Hannan Road entrance, drive, new parking lot, and the nature trail, for pavement. The current focus is getting the key elements done to the ground and structure of the building before the winter weather sets in, and so far the team is beating their timeline! Great job everyone.
