Site: Soccer Field
Location: Manchester , NH
Time: Mid-October
The Project: This was a time sensitive
project. It needed to be completed before winter frost.
Work would begin when the soccer season had ended in
mid October. We had all the necessary equipment
and resources to insure that the project would be completed
timely to insure the new sod would be fully established
to carry itself through the winter.
The project involved, roto tilling the existing vegetation. Amending
the soil profile to insure proper nutrients and soil pH for strong root
growth. To accommodate the new irrigation system we dug
the appropriate trenches. We laid the rough irrigation pipes and
then connected to the zone valves and new sprinklers heads. We diligently
back filled and compacted to be absolutely sure no settling would occur.
What Major Problems: We encountered a problem due to the lack
of documentation on the location of the existing water main. It required
HAND DIGGING to locate the 8" line. Equipment digging would damage the
system. After the underground main had be flagged and located all heavy
equipment could access the field for site preparation.
Another unexpected delay, while digging we encountered
large boulders buried on site. These created major set
backs on this time sensitive project. Then the unthinkable
happened; a major rain fall. A water soaked environment
can quickly turn the construction site into a bowl of
soup and run-off can negatively effect the project.
We were delayed even further by this uncontrollable
turn of events.
Final Results: Through diligence and hard work, long hours and
working weekends this project was completed in sufficient time for the
turf to get fully established. Our road
grader re-graded the entire field to meet the proper drainage specifications.
We then laid over
sixty thousand square feet of sod.
The clients were thrilled and enjoyed their beautiful new field. They
were completely satisfied with the results of engaging Jenning's to
complete this project.
