Project Completed

At the end of September the project was completely finished, approx. 2000 euro over budget. The main reason for this was the decision to build a second level for the third water tank in order to maintain stability and still have enough capacity. At the time of this writing we are in the final stages to publish the final report on this project which soon can be found at http://salek.nl The tower is fully self supporting with solar panels to drive the pump.

Just as we receive the results of the last measurements for the bore hole, we raised enough money to fund our first project, the water tower. We estimate that we will finish building the tower by mid 2009. Thank you to all participants and made this possible.

Bodemonderzoek afgerond

Gebruikte meetapparatuur
Op zaterdag 27 September is succesvol het bodemonderzoek afgerond. Dit was nodig om de beste plaats te bepalen voor het boren naar water op het enorme terrein waar wij onze toekomstige scholen gaan bouwen. Daarnaast kunnen we bepalen of de begroting geen grote wijzigingen zou krijgen. Tevens was deze plaatsbepaling noodzakelijk zodat we nu een layout kunnen gaan maken met bouwtekeningen. U kunt het volledige rapport vinden op http://www.salek.nl/downloads.html De diepte van het boorgat zal zo'n 80 meter gaan bedragen, 30 meter meer als begroot. Dit zal echter geen verder implicaties hebben op de begroting, met deze ruimte was rekening gehouden.
