Voldrogue School Construction Update – January 26, 2012
The construction on the new school in Voldrogue was begun on December 11, 2011. The excavation for the foundations of the Preschool and Administration buildings was completed prior to Christmas.
After a break for the Holiday season, work resumed during the week of January 9. As of January 21, the foundations of the Preschool building were complete and work was proceeding on the columns, deck beam and other components of the main floor of the building.
The Primary School Building was laid out by Architect Jason Krumm, Engineer Patrick Duval and General Foreman Mondy Pamphile on January 20 2012. Work will begin on that building in the next week or so. We will use a front loader with a backhoe to do the necessary excavations, including the cisterns that will be located under that building.
