Construction: 4-4

4-4       Is this a project where concrete foundations will be required to be done in a constant pour?  If so, what are the volumes?  (A constant pour means that trucks will be dumping and then returning to the concrete plant at a rate of one truck each way every twenty minutes on an average.  As an example, utilizing a fleet of fifteen yard concrete trucks and a constant pour of 1,000 yards would consist of 66 truck trips both coming and going every twenty minutes.  This 1,000 yard pour would be for a continuous period of 22 hours non-stop of trucks traveling through the village of Pascoag and along Wallum Lake Road which consists of a residential area.)  How many times is this going to happen during the two separate proposed construction phases?

RESPONSE 4-4:

Concrete foundations requiring constant pours are anticipated to occur four times for each of the two units and include:  the HSRG foundation, CTG foundation, STG foundation and transformer foundation.  Foundation will be designed to match the volume of concrete that can be hauled within the extended daily truck traffic window between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.  The balance of foundations can be staged placements and deliveries will occur during normal daylight hours (7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.).
