Campus Construction Update for Week of Aug. 28-Sept. 3
August 26, 2011 — These are among the construction activities scheduled Aug. 28-Sept. 3 at the University of Wyoming:
South Shuttle Lot (15th and Spring Creek) Update -- Rebuilding of this parking lot continues. The bus pickup and drop off area is by the bus shelter. There will be no parking in the lot until Sept. 1, when the new pavement is installed. Parking is on the street and buses are using the north end of the lot for access and turn-around. The Still and coffee kiosk remain open and accessible during construction. Alternative measures are recommended to accommodate construction activities. Read more.
Notice: A large crane will be on site the Friday Sept. 2, north of the Pharmacy Building. Access will be extremely limited in that area. The crane will lift the air handler to the roof.
Lot Open -- War Memorial Stadium parking lot and 20th Street from the stadium to Grand Avenue is now reopened. There will still be some minor landscaping work occurring on 22nd Street, please use caution in this area. Fencing and base will be reused for temporary parking in the Summit View area.
The UW Facilities Planning Office reports the following activities for the week:
State Fiscal Stabilization Fund Modernization, Renovation and Repairs (Scheduled completion, this fall) -- The project focuses on major maintenance items, ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) improvements and classroom improvements. Buildings involved are as follows:
Agriculture, Animal Science, Arts & Sciences, Aven Nelson and Engineering: Work on picking up punch list items. Hoyt Hall: Work on punch list items in Rooms 123 and 207; work on Room 215 has been approved and should begin. Health Sciences, Pharmacy wing: Continuation of mechanical installation, fire alarm system and fire protection system. Student traffic will be directed to the west elevator and stairwell.
Construction Fence Concrete Footers - News
Student Apartments -- The contractor has set up fencing around the three-block area south of Willett between Crane and Soule. Site utilities are continuing along with apartment building concrete footings and foundations. There will be a total of 15
I would like to see more happening and I will express that at our construction meeting. I would have thought that by the end of August we would have had some footings, some beginning concrete work done. I did express that today to the architect.
Crews will also be installing fences at the wetland retaining wall when it arrives from the manufacturer. JP Cullen, the concrete contractor, has poured all footings for one area and has started the footings for the east side of the building where
Large numbers of concrete trucks will be on site. Parking will be limited in areas around construction including the drive along the west of the Engineering Building. The construction office is set up on site. Fencing has been reconfigured to secure
Simonson said that 64 concrete footings were poured in the pond and that 1500 square feet of absorbing ground is now covered. Simonson's wife, Pamela, told the board that the district should be honest and respect others. "There's no communication with

SOME DESIGN SOLUTION IDEAS
Electric fences are designed to create an electrical circuit when touched by a person or animal. A component called a power energizer converts power into a brief high-voltage pulse. One terminal of the power energizer releases the electrical pulse along a connected bare wire, about once per second. The other terminal is connected to a metal rod implanted in the earth, called a ground rod.
A person or animal (which are mostly water, and thus quite conductive) touching the wire and the earth (or wall) completes the electric circuit and will conduct the pulse from fence to ground, causing an extremely painful electric shock.
The effects of the electrical shock depend upon the voltage and electrical current used, and can range from barely noticeable, to painful, to lethal.
A 4-wire extension above a standard concrete wall.
The bottom strand is stretched about 3 inches (7.5 cm) above the cement wall. The other strands have approximate 6 inches (15 cm) spacing from each other.
The top strand is grounded to provide a measure of “false alarm” protection from falling foliage.
All strands are mounted on insulators so the grounded wires cannot be distinguished from the high voltage, charged wires.
In this installation the grounded strands are connected together in a standard, common, parallel fashion. The common ground includes three 8 foot ground rods driven at least 7 feet into the earth/ground. An absolute minimum of 2 grounds are always recommended to provide a good ground over the length of your fence. Also connected to this common ground are the output ground terminals of the fence charger 220/110 VAC to 12 VDC and the Fence Hawk voltage monitor .
NOTE: One must be careful to use a battery charger that can be continuously connected to the battery without overcharging, and damaging the battery.
