Week 43, Part 2- Electrical & Roof wrap-up

Here is a preview of things to come- Electrical! In the final few weeks Electrical, and Landscaping to a lesser extent, is about all there is to discuss!

There was a slight delay in Duct Bank action until the vaults came in for Challenger Electric. Now we have all the vaults they need to route Power, Control and Signal wires.

These two outside of the east wall of the Mechanical Building are known as PV-A and SV-A (Power Vault, which also runs Control wire, and Signal Vault.) The power, control and signal wires, for anything outside the Mechanical Building, go through these vaults. The Motor Control Center will be on the other side of the wall to the right of the picture- inside the Blower Room. It will all become clear in the next few weeks!




Within a day or two the conduit was extended from the Duct Bank and attached to a plywood form in the vault opening-





The eastern end of the Duct Bank is past the Operations Building and heads to vaults PV-C & SV-C-



Todd takes a moment to review (admire?) the work up to this point-



As the week progressed Challenger dug trenches in all directions north of the Mechanical Building. In this area they needed to set vault PV-B and two light poles as well as connect conduit to the Transformer and Generator pads-



The roofers were also busy trying to wrap up Mechanical. Raw materials were staged north of the Sludge Basin for a few days-



The nearly-completed roof on one of the nice days-
