Botany Pond: Demolition and Concrete Removal

August 23, 2023

Project activities are scheduled at the Botany Pond project; there is expected to be some noise associated with the activities and a change in the project fencing footprint. Please see the attached updated/revised project graphic.

Coring of the Concrete Wall

Tentatively scheduled for Thursday, May 9, the electrical contractor will be coring a new hole into the pond’s concrete wall in preparation for the installation of the pond’s filtration system components. This activity will have noise associated but will be complete before the end of the day.

Pond Liner Installation

Following the coring work for the concrete wall, the pond liner is slated to be installed at Botany Pond starting the week of May 13. Given the amount of materials needed for this installation and limited laydown space adjacent to the pond, the project site’s fencing will be temporarily expanded during the week as shown in the graphic. The fence will return to its current footprint by noon on Thursday, May 16 in time for the Alumni weekend activities begin. There will be minimal noise and all pathways will remain open during this time. This work activity is weather sensitive; if there are delays or changes to this schedule, we will update everyone accordingly.

Updates on these two activities will be distributed, if needed.
