Beryl Plant Demolition Project
Location: 34574 H Street Barstow
Project Timeline:
September 2022 – Mid-December 2022
Working Hours:
Monday – Friday (No weekends or holidays)
7 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Construction crews worked to:
- Tank demolition
- Install new services
- Install fire hydrant.
The streets will remain open to traffic during the construction period but traffic and parking may be restricted and access to driveways may be limited for short durations of time. The construction crews will make every effort to keep dust to a minimum. Please expect an increased level of noise during the construction period. Weekly activities such as trash pick-up will not be interrupted. As the new services are being installed minor disruptions due to the shut-down in water services will happen. This step is necessary to protect public health and to ensure compliance with the Waterworks Standards. Following the disinfection period, crews will flush the chlorinated water and any construction-related sediment from the pipelines. Crews will dechlorinate the water before discharge. Generally, as underground activities are completed the crews will progress to the next underground sections and come back near the end of the project to perform landscape and hardscape restoration as well as perform final street paving.
