After an almost a year of suspension of operation, we are ready to resume the work on our site.
We have organized for a team of five. The task given them were:
1. to repair the perimeter bamboo fences,
2. repair the working platform,
3. repair the retaining fences on the bottom of the dig,
4. prepare the plywood boxes and
5. to push through for the excavation to reach the concrete flooring at approx 56 ft. below surface.
Actually, we have prepared to work with the same volume of water we have encountered last year. That is pumping out daily a huge volume of water using 2-HP submersible pump working continuously for five hours.
Pumping out of water usually started at 05:00 AM and the actual work could commence only at 10:00 in the morning. This set up had caused disturbance since running the pump on generator caused an alarming noise in the surrounding areas of the farm. The semi-discreet nature of the operation was exposed. Farm folks started to ask question on the on-going activities. This operation cost PhP1000 per day on gasoline expenses on generator fuel.
This considerable cost was finally solved by changing the electrical cable serving the farm into suitable size so as not to create a voltage drop. The pump would now be running on electricity thus eliminating two obstructions: the noise and the cost.
With lots of prayers and hope we have started the operation.
