Permeable Reactive Barrier Work Plan

Ford Motor Company has announced the following work plan for the construction of the Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB) that will be installed on the former Visteon plant property near the northwest corner of the Manors at Central Park Condominiums:

  • Week of Oct 28th - locate underground utility lines and clear away brush.
  • Week of Nov 4th - begin delivery of equipment and materials; excavate and remove abandoned underground utility lines in the vicinity of the PRB
  • Week of Nov 11th – DeWind (Ford's subcontractor) will begin the trenching and installation of the PRB. They anticipate having the work completed by Thanksgiving and during this portion of the work plan DeWind will be working 7 days per week.  Actual construction work will be limited to the daylight hours.

The approximate location of the PRB is indicated by the red line in the aerial view above. The PRB will be located on the other side of the landscaped berm behind the units at 50087 through 50167 Lexington West. All of this construction work will take place on the former Visteon plant property, not on the Manors' side of the fence.  Manors residents might be able to hear the equipment when work is underway but they will not be able to see any of this work unless they are standing on top of the berm.
