Week 35, Part 1- Mechanical building roof & details

This week began with perhaps a final look at snow for this winter?! This post is going online after a few week’s delay and we haven’t seen more snow in 17 working days since this picture-



But the very next day it was back to normal for this winter- muddy & wet!



This week work continued on the roof of Mechanical, CNI’s crew installed the trusses last week and now worked on decking, blocking, hardware and fascia-



Here’s a nice wide view of the progress at Mechanical with Operations on the left side of the picture-



Owens installed a Dewatering Manhole on the north side of the Mechanical building. The groundwater in this area is substantial so we are making sure the lowest floor in our Mechanical building stays dry! This manhole is actually seated in the basalt bedrock on our site, 10 feet below grade. A permanent, wired pump will be installed by the end of the project-





Here is the floor in question- the UV room. This vertical shot is pre-slab pour. The trusses are in place over the room with just a few plywood sheets in place. The blue vapor barrier is in on top of the gravel slab grade-



This is the Blower Room in the Mechanical building. You can see the electrical conduit stub-ups on the left side. Those are for the Motor Control Center. At this stage we are almost ready to pour the floor slab-
