Week 34, Part 1- Mechanical roof begins, Details at Operations

With the CMU wall finshed last week at Mechanical it was time to pull down the tent and scaffolding-




A view from the northeast looking over the tarped phosphorous removal (PREM) structure (equipment not installed yet)-



And from the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, looking a bit northwest-



While they get ready for trusses let's look at the Operations building. Here one of the overhead doors for the Screening Room has been installed. This is the east face of the Operations building where the untreated waste water enters for processing-



Another large, overhead door is being installed on the north wall of Operations. This is the Maintenance & Storage room-







CNI's crew is installing the standard entry doors-



Challenger Electric is wrapping up Operations rough-in. This is a bank of sweeps in the Maintenance room for a control center-



Outside some conduit has been run for light switches in the open bay-



And finally the roof work begins at Mechanical-



The first job was placing a horizontal truss over a portion of the UV room which extends beyond the profile of the other rooms-



Here you can see better how the UV room pushes out in the south wall. This truss eventually was laid flat and secured to the pressure-treated sill plate on top of the CMU wall-



And let's step back for a minute- here's the main processing structures right now as viewed from a hill to the south. Mechanical on the left, waiting for trusses, Operations up in the middle with black felt on the roof, and the Treatment building on the right with the handrails & catwalk system on top of the walls-



And, if you stand on the Trail of the Couer d'Alenes right in front of Mechanical, and really focus on your peripheral vision, you just might see this-
