On September 10, 2021 Phil came to Hayfield Primary and Infant School to do some measurements. He sent the measurements and the project idea to Michael Gyles Associates for the drawing and on October 1, 2021 we received the blueprints for review.
Phil is a lifetime engineer who studied in New York. He has a lot of experience working and even worked at the Kingston Wharf, one of the busiest in the world. He was recommended by Travis from The St. Thomas Renaissance Foundation, Inc. Phil is a living in Kingston now and agreed to come out to Hayfield to look at the project.
A cool fact about Phil is that his mom used to be a teacher in Hayfield. Phil and his family lived in Bath, which is a neighboring community to Hayfield. His mom would travel everyday up the 7km road to get to Hayfield so she could teach. A trend now that is still being repeated, 2 of the teachers and the principal live outside the community and travel to work everyday.
I met with Phil, Travis, and Alrick Brown (known as Wicka). Wicka is Rajays father so we wanted his input on the ramp. We all met in the after noon and walked the proposed route. Phil brought a measuring tape to do some measurements. He wrote it on a piece of paper. The whole process didn't take very long. After we talked about the project and took the measurements, we went to the shop and had a few drinks together.
We are going to build a concrete path with a gradual incline and a safety fence along the perimeter of the play field (the southern and the western sides). The path will start just before the stairs and lead west along the southern side of the play field, behind the playground, and go up towards the bathroom where it will connect to the school grounds. By building a longer path we are able to create a gradual slope and build a perimeter fence at the same time. We will construct retaining walls along the south side to prevent future erosion of the structure
