New walkway at the service center

If you’ve been to the RPU service center recently, you couldn’t help but notice all of the construction on the front walkway. Work is finally to the point where some of it is making sense and coming together. The tubes for the heated water are being laid and concrete is scheduled to be poured later this week. We will be utilizing warm water loops from the geothermal system to heat the walkway, helping to better keep ice and snow from piling up during the winter months. Work is scheduled to wrap up within the next couple weeks.
