Pipe Rupture Repair Update - Message from Board President

9/17/2015

 
Hi Everyone, 
The fire inspector will be at our community center tomorrow for what is hoped to be the final inspection on the fire suppression ruptured pipe repair. As pragmatic as I usually am, I don't see a problem with this being signed off as everything has been checked, re-checked and verified to code. Once this is signed off, it allows us to move faster on the remaining repairs as we are very limited on what we can do around this repair trench until sign off. Work continues to remove and stack the interlocking pavers from the showers to the wader pool. Using a 4' rod and pushing into the soil we continue to find wet caverns at 3-4' from the showers to the mid point to the wader. We should have the entire wet area exposed by tomorrow at the latest. The next step is to carefully remove all of the soil that is went and expose the underground trenches. Keep in mind this has to be done carefully to avoid any damage to pipe or electrical that was not damaged already. The old dirt will be hauled away and new dirt brought in to fill the voids along with a base slurry coat to help stabilize the area. At the same time, concrete cores will be cut in the pool room post tension slab and under the pool heater to fill with an approved material to fill in the areas of dirt that were washed away in the pipe rupture and stabilize the north end of the building. This entire process has to be done slowly and carefully and must be supervised at all times by a geo-engineer. The other repair involves the wader pool fill line. This was one of the issues that did not work properly from our original pool primary contractor. It appears that the plaster company did not cover this water pipe into the wader and thus potentially shot it full of plaster. As a temporary fix to open the pool the fill line was re-routed to the floor inlet valves but this does not work timely or efficiently. The crew has dug up around the wader which has a ring of cement 36" out from the coping to discover another large wet area indicating the pipe may have cracked due to pressure of water pushing against plaster. That concrete footing will need to be cut out in that area to inspect and repair pipe as needed, re-build the cement footing and then start to close up. The repair bills to date are at or around $50k and continuing. Our goal is to re-open the pool as soon as possible but yet not compromising any of the repairs needed or made. Once open, the pool will stay open as long as weather and usage permits.
