The boom truck arrives at Ford.
The roof of the pump house is removed.
Straps are fastened to the pump.
Pump begins to be extracted.
Pump being lifted out of structure.
The trouble... large cracks in the pump itself.
A closer look at the cracks in the pump.
Divers
preparing to dive to inspect pumps.
The divers found our basket filter for the pumps in terrible condition. They are suppose to have a screen around them to prevent debris and trash from getting in the pumps and causing damage.
This is the type of screening material that should be installed on the baskets. This material is made of stainless steel.
Here you can see that the metal mesh material made of
galvanized screening is completely dissolved... rendering this filter useless.
Notice here, the
original hardware used to fasten the basket filter to the pump was made of stainless steel and is in great shape. The club most likely saved $300 on basket filters years ago by not having them constructed in stainless steel.
Some examples of bulkhead damage.
#2 bulkhead damage.
#7 bulkhead damage. You can see here the turf just collapses in a hole.
#7 bulkhead damage.
An example of suffering
turfgrass from having the irrigation system down.
No irrigation + hot weather = bad grass.

It's nice that you've secured yourselves a heavy duty boom truck to deal with that kind of blockage and weight, which is something that can't really just be rolled out of the door. Having a boom truck is always getting assistance with almost every physical work.
