Phillips Contribution
The scope of work completed by Phillips for the project included installation and maintenance of silt fence; clearing and grubbing of the 85-acre site; excavation of material; import and placement of fill material; installation of storm water drainage piping, 8” sanitary sewer line, force main, water main, and fire main; construction of a lift station and curbing; placement of asphalt paving; and seeding and sodding of the site.
Phillips mobilized to the project site in late September of 2013 following an extremely wet summer in central Florida. As a result, most of the project site was covered with standing water at the time of project mobilization. To ensure the project schedule was maintained, Phillips deployed the necessary equipment and personnel to install erosion control measures, clear the site, and complete earthwork, despite the wet conditions at the site. Completing these work activities under the less-than-desirable conditions allowed Phillips to meet the originally established schedule.
