So this was our coldest week of the job so far- and our first burn barrel!
The cold weather forced us to use "Thawzall" units to heat the concrete forms. CNI had been building forms for Stem Walls on the Mechanical building last week. One pour occurred last week but three additional segments of the building still needed concrete-
The hose is running under the blankets on the ground then back and forth over the forms, which you cannot see because...they are covered with blankets!
The concrete pour went ahead as scheduled and then the wall forms were covered with blankets again for the rest of the week-
Here you see the stem walls around the UV Disinfection room from the previous week. The rebar dowels are sticking out waiting for the next phase- CMU or cinder block walls which will rise 12 feet above these stem walls-
So how cold was it this week? So cold that AIR actually froze in some exposed pipes!
OK, maybe the moisture in the air had something to do with it but it looks pretty cool anyway!
And for the first time in this blog you get to see the inspector, because you can't see my whole face anyway. I'm wearing 3 layers under my coat and a head/face cover under the hard hat- standing in front of the Operations building tent-
Meanwhile Pikachu doesn't care about the cold, he's just catchin' some rays on the Wacker! (I know that's out of the blue because you haven't seen Pikachu before. He's been hanging out on the jobsite for months. Not a real hard worker but he's always smiling so we keep him around!)
Back to real business- over at the Treatment building more progress is made installing Aero Mod equipment. Here's a wide view-
Just to show we didn't bend the equipment too much here's a standard view- yes, everything runs in straight lines!
Week 28 Part 2 will follow later today...
