The primary challenge in the execution of the de Ceuvel CTP plan is the limited budget, which needs to be compensated for with creativity and hand labor. Most technologies installed will be of the doit-yourself (DIY) variety. The plan needs to remain adaptable as the construction team finds cheap or free materials for use in the design. In this section, we provide an overview of the general process for retrofitting the boats and constructing the planned communal facilities on the site. DEPLOYMENT SUMMARY Construction for the de Ceuvel development will begin in March of 2013. The first phase of the project involves clearing the site, securing free or inexpensive houseboats, and renovating the houseboats in an off-site location. The renovated boats will be moved to the de Ceuvel site in September 2013. Further work will take place there, including the construction of the communal wastewater treatment and biogas production facility, the walkways linking the boats, the phytoremediation garden, food production, and floating garden platforms. The three recommended phases for the development of the de Ceuvel site are detailed on the following pages. The test case described here details one selected set of technologies, though the plan can be adopted to others as well. The final result of each boat reconstruction and the site as a whole will vary depending on the types of materials and prices that can be sourced throughout the building process. For each phase, we summarize the targets that we expect to achieve with the proposed interventions and we itemize the primary steps that need to be taken to achieve these targets. Cost and labor estimates are included, but are subject to change once the process is actually underway. The interventions described in each phase are included in order of priority. PILOT BOAT This deployment plan will be fully tested in March 2013 when we will renovate the first pilot boat. Based on actual costs and labor requirements, we will adjust the recommendations for the renovation of all other boats on the site. Pagina 38
