Good morning folks,
Northern California Construction Training was was asked to build another garden for the Sacramento Kings and Raley’s! So of course you know our students came in cooking with hot grease! We installed:
-(6) 4x8x3 redwood stained and sealed planter boxes with water lines
– (1) Redwood park bench
– (6) birdhouses
– (2) temperature gages
-We removed 30 cubic yards, and trenched over 400 feet for waterlines for 5 of the planter boxes. Installed 10 cubic yards of Mulch and 12 cubic yards of decomposed granite.
Our students learned how to properly wear personal protective equipment, operate hand tools, tape measures, speed squares, circular saws, shovels, racks, teamwork, different soil types, wheelbarrows and vibra plates. They also learned how to set forms and shoot grades. The best part is that 15 students that were a part of this project graduated and were placed in the union construction trades. This is why the hands on training is so important for our students. It not only teaches them the tricks of the trades but also gives them the ability to take a step back and seriously think about the safest most efficient way of troubleshooting issues and working together as a TEAM.
NCCT could not be prouder of the work they all accomplished throughout this project!
