Installing the New Pumps

What a process!  First, the 12,000 lb pump station came in on a tractor trailer, which could not get any further than the area by the 18th tee.  From there, a crane had to off load the pump station and pumps on to 2 separate smaller flat bed trucks.  From there, the 2 flatbeds and the crane had to go in reverse from the 12th tee all the way to the pump house, since there were no areas along the way for them to turn around.  Once they were situated, the crane had to place everything inside the pump house, which we removed the roof a few days before.  The bottom picture is the last picture we took since it got dark right after and much of the work was done in the dark.  The pump station arrived 6 hours late which threw off our entire schedule.
