8:40AM- It looks like the repair to the control structure may have been completed yesterday. However, IMHO, it doesn't look like a 1st class job to me and, from what I could tell, it surely doesn't seem to correlate to what we were told by Pulte how it would be done:
1. A groove would be cut in the top of the existing structure to allow for sealing material to be applied between it and the addition to the structure, thereby creating a leakproof seal between the existing structure and the addition made to it.
2. For any addition over two bricks high, a form would be built for controlling the addition of new cement to the existing structure.
My observations: the addition is more than two bricks high. The new cement is very rough and it's hard to believe it was applied using forms. The top of the cement is already cracking.
I also noticed a very small leak on the inside of the structure. Was the groove cut and sealing material applied between the old and new cement? How long will it be before the small leak become a major leak?
Earth Angel, Your reports say it all. The repair to the control structure at 154 is a joke—and the joke is on us. The work, and the non-work, at these lagoons are jokes—and the jokes are on us. Dumping sediment into the wetlands is a joke (not a funny one)—and the joke is on all of us. If people haven’t figured out by now that Pulte, DHEC, Beaufort County, and the USACE are all jokes—and that the jokes are on us—then they never will. Thank you, Earth Angel, for your reports.
