Map of utility project planned underground investigations.

Small, investigative excavations will determine precise locations for future chilled water piping.

As part of the due diligence to replace chilled water piping serving the College of Computing and the Pettit building, investigative excavations, roughly 12" square with depths to be determined, will be conducted by hand or with small portable equipment.

Safety barriers will be erected around each excavation and the work utilizing heavier equipment is scheduled to occur over winter break. Expect some pedestrian disruption in the affected areas. Detours will be established as needed - most likely directing foot traffic to Ferst Drive.

Project activity will commence Dec. 9 and occur between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily. No interference with commencement activity is expected. Following commencement activities, work such as cutting sidewalks will be necessary and appropriate detours will be available. Project activity is scheduled for completion by Jan. 6. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we activate this campus improvement project.
