The Downs redevelopment in Scarborough
The old racetrack ground has become the largest continuous build in Scarborough, with streets, apartments and commercial pads going in by phase. Scarborough crews there have wide new pavement to work from, so units go close to each building. Because the Scarborough phases overlap, several units stay on site and move as the streets are finished. Scarborough contractors on that site run monthly terms with twice-weekly service when the crew count climbs. Winter work at the Scarborough site continues, since the new roads are plowed for the finished buildings. Frost heave on the raw Scarborough fill will cant a unit, so level gets rechecked at every stop.
Beach and marsh work in Scarborough
Pine Point, Higgins Beach and the Scarborough Marsh all take heavy summer use and steady maintenance. A Scarborough beach set goes on the paved lot above the dune line, never out on the sand. Scarborough dune grass and soft sand will not support a service truck at any time of year. Marsh boardwalk and trail crews in Scarborough take one unit at the nearest gravel parking area. Because the Scarborough beach lots fill by nine in the morning, the drop happens at first light. Scarborough beach units get an extra pump after the holiday weekends.
House building across Scarborough
New streets of houses keep filling in the fields between Oak Hill, Dunstan and the Route 1 corridor in Scarborough. A Scarborough subdivision spreads two or three units along the road as the framing advances. Scarborough builders want them where a pump truck can reach without driving on fresh binder. Marine clay under much of Scarborough holds water into June, so pads stay under the units. Scarborough shore lots near the marsh sit low and the set has to stay above the wet ground.
