Campus work across Chalmette
Chalmette carries more school ground than anywhere else downriver, and summer is when the work on it happens. A Chalmette campus job means portable restrooms while the building ones are offline, usually banked near the maintenance drive so a Chalmette custodian reaches them without crossing the bus lane.
We service those Chalmette banks before classes when term has already started. Chalmette principals get a stated window rather than a guess, and the driver works around bus arrival either way.
Churches, halls and Chalmette weekends
Chalmette church fairs, fish fries and hall rentals run most weekends through spring, and each one wants restrooms placed where the food line is not looking at them. We set Chalmette event units beside the hall on pavement, screened by the fence, and collect them Monday. Two Chalmette units beat one long line. A Chalmette committee that gives us the headcount gets sized properly the first time, and the Chalmette hall keeper knows exactly where the truck will pull in on Monday morning.
Chalmette ground and the summer pace
Chalmette sits low behind the Lake Borgne levee with pumps doing the real work, and the fill under most Chalmette parking lots has settled into dips that hold rain. We set on the high side of the lot and plank any Chalmette unit that has to stand on grass. Subsidence does the rest over time, and a Chalmette slab that looked flat two summers ago now drains toward one corner of the yard.
Heat is the other Chalmette factor all summer long. A Chalmette unit in July needs twice weekly service to stay usable, and we schedule that from the start rather than after a complaint.
