Week 39, Part 1- Building Interior Progress, PREM pipes & pre-platform

Early this week some of the process piping and valves were flown in by forklift and installed-





The Laboratory in Operations has been painted, HVAC ductwork sits on the floor and the painted man-doors against the wall are waiting for installation-



The Maintenance-Storage room is in final prep for painting and a crew member installs door hardware-



Water service is being brought to the sight from several hundred feet away, down a gravel road which leads to the plant site-



Before showing more interior progress pics I want to catch up viewers that might be new to the blog-
the Operations building was constructed first, CMU ("cinder blocks") on top of a concrete slab foundation, then the Mechanical building was built in the same fashion. The trusses were "rolled" on next, plywood sheeting and tar paper followed. For the last few weeks the sequence to finish the interiors has been- steel stud framing or z-channels on CMU walls, insulation, electrical and HVAC rough-in, drywall, painting, then follow-up with electrical and HVAC. Basic idea, at least. Each of these steps are completed in one building, then the next, back and forth.

Here an electrician is working in Mechanical on rough-in-



The Blower room in Mechanical has the insulation in place. The electricians have already been in here, you can see the rough-in on the back wall and in the trusses overhead. (Click on the picture to see the full-size version, then hit your "back" browser button to return to the blog)-



Here in the UV room we have drywall on the ceiling but you can see the seams so the taping crew hasn't been here yet. The back wall with the foil-covered insulation will be covered with metal liner panels. This occurs in two rooms in Operations and two rooms in Mechanical-



After the piping and valves were installed, the framework for the walkway was installed right on top of the tanks in PREM-



And back in Operations the cabinets were installed in the Laboratory-
