Phinney's Lane Pump Station Construction Begins This Week

BARNSTABLE, MA — Work is set to begin on the Phinney's Lane Pump Station construction project this week, town officials announced.

The town's contractor, Robert B. Our Co., began mobilizing equipment to the 1456 Falmouth Rd. site. Crews will begin the installation of support of excavation measures for the construction of the facility on Wednesday.

"This phase of the work will require significant construction equipment in order to drive piles and sheeting to establish a support system for the excavation effort that will be required to install the foundation for the facility," town officials said.

"During this phase of the work, residents can expect noise and vibrations to be generated from the installation of the piles and sheeting."

This process is slated to last for three weeks, with work scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"Although the work will be located outside of the traveled roadway, please slow down and use extreme caution when traveling through the project area, as trucks with trailers and construction equipment will be entering and exiting the project site," officials said.
