Looks like they are probing the bottom of the pond by the parking entrance in this picture from Bio

I see no drill pipe nor pilings to be used so not sure if they are poking holes or what those large tanks are. Maybe we get a new fountain show? Kidding, the vertical rig has to be a drill

Looks more like a pile driver than a drill. Might be just driving a rod to anchor something else to. Or it could be just checking depth to a solid surface.

Why just have an aeration fountain when you can have an aeration fountain SHOW!

I knew I saw this somewhere, I just couldn't find it. I guess this thread should merge with the one I created about the floating solar array.

Retention Pond Floating Solar Array

I know someone posted a picture of some work going on with the big retention pond near the parking garage the other day, and today while leaving the South Garage I discovered what is going on. There is a crew putting together a floating solar panel array on the pond. It appears that it will be...

I believe this is a floating solar array (they appeared to be solar panels when I passed by the the other day), and they just worked their name and logo into it.

Funny to see it Twitter "this is worse than the Harmonious barges"...it's flat and it's outside the park. BIG difference!

This is the most Comcast-y thing imaginable.

I would like it more if it was just the Peacock logo and wasn't just another form of Comcast billboard. Sure, it may be a solar panel, but one that small generates very little solar. The Solar Mickey for comparison is pretty much only for promotional purposes and was criticized for being as such. It generates next to no solar compared to their solar field.

I was thinking they might put a pair of fountains in there and power them off the panel.
