At 10:00 AM today the pump was still not in operation and there were no workers on site. At this rate, it will take quite a while for this lagoon to get pumped-down. Pulte needs to "speed things up a bit".
When I was at L-150 yesterday I noticed that the discharge hose was pulsating and there didn't seem to be too much water volume being discharged . I then noticed that the hose was kinked at the pump outlet because it was installed at a 90 degree angle to the pump output fitting. It seemed that the pulsating was caused by back-pressure buildup that would then force the kink to open up somewhat, allowing more volume to flow. Once the back-pressure subsided, the kink closed up again, waiting for the next back-pressure surge. There was no worker on site at the time. What a way to run a business!
Update: At 4:30 PM today the pump was still not operating and still no workers on site.
One guy, one malfunctioning pump. One day on, two days off. At the rate that they’re going, it’ll take forever. never mind the fact that they have 30 lagoons to work on. With Pulte everything is linear: step 1, lagoon 164; step 2, lagoon 150. I want to see the resource-loaded construction schedule that shows how with one part-time crew, working one day on and two days off, that they’re going to finish all the Phase 5 reconstruction work by August. I don’t believe it.
