Dear colleagues,
We are writing to inform you about an upcoming construction project to improve our campus infrastructure. Beginning Thursday, June 1, pipes will be staged on the west side of Alumni Drive near Intramural Field 6. The installation of these pipes will enhance the efficiency and functionality of our utilities.
The details of the project are as follows:
- Location: The work will take place on the west side of Alumni Drive, specifically the section with the manhole marked on the map below
- Duration: June 1 through June 30
- Scope of Work: Contractors will move the pipes from the west side of Alumni into the manhole in the middle of Alumni Drive
- Traffic Impact: To ensure safety, both lanes of Alumni Drive will be temporarily closed during the pipe installation - A flag person will be present to assist with traffic control
- Minimal Delays: Only one piece of pipe will be moved at a time - if traffic arrives at the construction area, the pipe will be quickly installed, allowing the vehicles to pass within minutes
Thank you for your understanding and support as we make these necessary improvements for more efficient and reliable campus infrastructure. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Facilities Engineering and Planning at 713-348-2485.
Sincerely,
Elmer Whitehead Jr., P.E., CEM
Assistant University Engineer
