RE: Pre-Construction Meeting for Royal Lane & U.S.
Post Office Relocation
Dear Mr. Morton;
The pre-construction meeting for this relocation
job was held by Roy Anderson and I on Feb. 24th at the
Preference Inn in Irving, Texas. Attached is a list of
attendees. Also attached is the outline followed at
the meeting.
Clark Besack presented an overview of the
description of work. They will first begin pipe
fabrication at the railroad bore. They will then
progress westwardly until completion of the project.
They will be using an off-set ditcher in areas where
they are close to fences. Roy Anderson presented an
overview of the drain down. All outside parties
questions and comments were addressed. Attached is a
list of these questions and comments.
Following the meeting, Clark Besack, Billy Schell,
Gary Schell, Roy and I walked through the job site. We
discussed the staking of the line and the railroad and
driveway bores. We also looked at possible locations
for a work trailer and for fire hydrant for hydrostatic
test water.
From observations, ground preparation along Royal
Lane is inadequate for staking and will require some
clean-up efforts on the part of Sverdrup.
Sincerely,
Craig A. Hilgendorf
Project Engineer
