Improvements Coming to Cesar Chavez Park

The Port of San Diego will soon begin a project to make improvements to Cesar Chavez Park, located along the San Diego Bay waterfront in Barrio Logan. The popular park includes picnic and playground areas, a public viewing pier and a multi-purpose recreational field.

The project will focus on the recreational field, which is heavily used for various recreational activities.

“Cesar Chavez Park is a jewel in the community of Barrio Logan. It's a special spot where residents and visitors can have a picnic, engage in sports activities, or just relax and enjoy the incredible views,” said Port Commissioner Rafael Castellanos. “We're so pleased to see the park gets this much use. This improvement project will make it more sustainable so it can be experienced for generations.”

The project entails removing approximately 90,000 square feet of existing grass turf in the recreational field and replacing it with new turf. It also includes grading and drainage improvements and modifying the existing irrigation system that would accommodate the new turf field.

The field will close next month to allow for establishment of the new grass. The remainder of the park, along with the public viewing pier, will be accessible throughout the construction period.

Marina Landscape Inc. was awarded the contract for the $606,000 project.

+++ Vista-based Flux Power Holdings, a developer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, has expanded its in-house testing and product validation capabilities with all equipment needed to satisfy Underwriters Laboratory (UL) compliance testing, including the addition of an onsite “vibration table.”

“Our full suite of testing equipment is capable of in-house qualification on everything from our smallest to our largest battery systems, eliminating the need to outsource any aspect of testing for either UL or UN certifications and expediting the process,” said Ron Dutt, Flux Power's CEO.

Lithium-ion batteries with a UL Listing have been tested to meet nationally recognized safety standards as a complete final product, and also includes battery modules and battery packs. Dutt said the UL 2580 battery test standard also tests the ability of batteries, battery modules and battery packs to withstand harsh conditions safely – and testing whether they can be charged and discharged as required. The testing helps ensure the safety of lithium-ion batteries during shipping.

Flux's vibration table will be used to test its battery systems under simulated vibration conditions to ensure that they can withstand the stresses of vibration and shock that may be encountered in their intended operating environment, reducing the time required from testing to certification.

Flux Power (NASDAQ: FLUX) designs, manufactures and sells advanced lithium-ion energy storage solutions for electrification to a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors including material handling, airport ground support equipment and stationary energy storage. FLUX shares have rocketed more than 45% in the past three months.
