Phase 1

Phase 1 Membrane Project, Day 109 (January 15, 2026)

by 
Phase 1 Membrane Replacement Project

Project Mobilization Date: August 11, 2025
Work Start Date: August 28, 2025 
Expected duration: 2–3 months (Completion now likely in February 2026)
Primary contractor: Prostar https://prostar.ca/

Weather: 10C, sunny

No work observed onsite today.

Blue Drop, the irrigation contractor, was again onsite laying out PVC piping and doing other preliminary work.

I noticed that additional material had been applied to the two lamp posts between the 244 and 248 buildings, likely to better protect the membrane. I believe this was done on January 14th, as photos from the 13th do not show the material.

Editorial point: In the photo below, there seems to be a significant amount of debris on the aeration mat. I assume this will be cleaned up before the soil is brought in.

Work done today:

  • One worker was observed with a blowtorch between the 244 and 248 buildings. I was not able to ascertain what was being done (or which company they were part of). UPDATE: It appears they placed protective material on the bases of the two lamp posts in the area.
  • More material, mainly PVC piping, was also brought in by Blue Drop, the irrigation contractor.
