Photo 3: this aerial provides an overhead view of the trenching and installation of catch basins on the building site.

Photos 1-2: these aerial photos show the extent of site work so far. The dropoffs/parking lots have been curbed and paved. Site work in the building area includes addition of base rock and the start of utility trenching.

Photo 3: crew members work in a shored trench to lay storm drain pipe to the catch basin in the parking lot. Shoring keeps the trench walls from collapsing on the workers.

Photos 1-2: crew members construct the framing for the concrete curb that will surround the perimeter of the synthetic turf field.

Photo 3: inside a catch basin, a crew member directs the excavator operator where to backfill around the basin.
