Indeed we should check. And that’s maybe another fun day at the site in perspective!
Yes, looking at the fiche technique, if I understand well, we will need another 2.5-3m free before the gate. So I think we will still need to contact the commune.
As for the inside of the sight, should we go there on 12/07 before the afterwork and have a look?
I can take up organising another work day once we establish what needs to be done.
Maybe somebody else can take on the coordinating and opening doors for the workmen?
I had a closer look at the fiche, in the turns (2 places on the side), we need a square of 8,5m on 8,5m, so we definately need some more work, but shouldn’t take long.
I talked to chris in the meantime, and will have my fathers chainsaw to have this done. I guess just two people will be enough, chris sawing, one clearing. It should be done in an hour i think. I can go with chris if needed…
hi @Sophie_B , thought i might have seen you this week, but no, so i am writing it down (and maybe we can talk briefly on monday’s full members meeting if you’re going)…
To answer your question: What needs to be done and when?
some more clearing of the site so their truck/machine can pass => chris and i will be doing that on Wednesday, so that point is being taken care off
call Verbeke to fix a date => they leave on holiday on the 20 th or 21st if i remember well => i would like to call them before they go on holiday because if we’re going to call them end of august or beginning of september, i am affraid the first date available at that time will be october-november.
=> somebody will need to go to open the gates for them that day , and then close them when they are finished. I don’t know what you’re availibitlies are in september, but i have my day off on Wednesday, so i could make it on whatever Wednesday in september-october. => Could you call them next week to make an appointment? (before 20/07/2024) The company sounds flemish, but when i wrote a mail in dutch, she replied in french. You can find the contact details on the invoice.
At least one week before the appointment, we would need reserve the place before the gate (i think you can do that online, link in one of the above posts of this thread). I think it’s best to call them as well to make absolute sure that it is the space right in front the gate. We don’t need it for parking, we just need to have no cars to be parked there because their machine/truck needs quite some space to make a turn/ to get on the site => if you could do that , perfect. I am away till the end of August so if the appointment would be the first Wednesday or September, I won’t be able to do that. I think Sarah might be on holiday too
on the day itself: preferable arrive half an hour earlier, in case there are cars parked, to call the police… and then open the gate.
one thing still to follow up: the architects need to deliver them more info about the soil samples to be taken => i don’t think they have done that yet, so to be checked with them after their holidays, and when we have the appointment, let the architects know about the appointment…
PS i have noticed that - if we write several messages via ER to the architects- that they only reply to the latest one send. So i think we should try to assemble all info for them and have one big message post to them towards their come back (towards 15/08)
Sophie tried to make an appointment today (thanks!!), but that didn’t work out (document needed to be signed).
Made a checklist of things to do…Feel free to update it, and put your name somewhere if you want/can take up a task…
@ChrisM , i am tagging you too, as you are taking up a task us well
fyi, if you want the contact details: mail in proton mail account, under folder ‘Other team building stuff’, or contact detail on the price offer.
Hey @joannes, I already called to schedule an appointment with them, will follow this up ofter the 12th (I believe they suggest a slot, so let’s see what comes out of it).
a little status on the preparations for the soil samples being taken on september 17th
sophie called today to Verbeke to make absolutely sure we don’t need to reserve parking space for maneuvring the truck on the site => no need
architects delivered the necessary info last week and i send it last Thursday to Verbeke
marcel is going to call the owner today to brief him on this event
i called the neighbour yves to
ask if he could move his van next tuesday when you arrive => he will be home next tuesday: @chris could you call him next tuesday (you met him as well, the day we received the key to the site). You can find his contact data here.
ask if he could move or clear away the broken windows at the entrance: he will take care of that
on friday chris and i are meeting on the site, to do a trimming of the budleja bushes at the back (front and middle are done), so that should be ok as well by next tuesday. I’ll print also the plan the architects sent with where they would prefer to have the samples taken (more or less).
@Sophie_B : verbeke will contact you an hour before they arrive, you will need to call chris so he can go and open the gate and contact the neighbour to move his van
i will be going in the evening to close the gate after they left
i asked team finance if this invoice should be adressed to the sosim or still to the asbl, as we are close to starting up the sosim. I think Verbeke already asked us the invoice data. @Sophie_B (i cannot find back the answer):i assume we said the asbl. But guess we can still change that if needed (but also guess it will stay the asbl)
Hi all, for those interested:
Verbeke took the soil samples ( yesterday in the end).
It was a very chaotic interaction with them, and in the end we weren’t even on the site when it happened.
great! thanks for this to everyone involved. by chance, in front of me in my office there is a soil engineer. i could ask him to have a look at the results for free if you wish.
/replace you so you can focus on other taks
