The Franklin Public Schools district leadership and school board, in an effort to meet our vision of being PART OF A BETTER COMMUNITY, share details on this page about the CERC (Community Education & Recreation Center) Project, including new updates, the project overview, timeline and frequently asked questions. 

 

November 2024 - December 2024 Activities

1. Site Securement & Mobilization

  • This involves setting up the perimeter of the site to ensure safety and security, including installing fences or barriers and establishing access points for equipment and workers.
  • Mobilizing the necessary equipment, such as construction vehicles, excavators, and machinery, to the site.

2. Erosion Control

  • Installing measures to prevent soil erosion during the construction process. This could include silt fences, sediment basins, or erosion control blankets to manage stormwater runoff and protect the surrounding environment.

3. Land Clearing

  • Clearing the site of trees, brush, rocks, and any other obstacles in preparation for the excavation and building stages. This might involve using bulldozers or other heavy equipment to remove debris and prepare a flat, clear area for construction.

4. Excavation

  • Excavation is the process of digging up soil or rock to prepare for foundations, basements, utilities, or other infrastructure. This might involve digging trenches for utilities or leveling the ground.

5. Site Utilities Installation

  • Laying the groundwork for utilities such as water, sewer, electricity, and gas lines. Excavation will be needed to create trenches for these systems, and the utilities themselves will be installed during this phase.
