Thanks Brad. 2:05. Southend, east. Tank Farm. Level 2 internal wall under construction. Southend, Cooling Tower. Apron. 1 large pipe cranked down into the excavation. 2:11. Southend, Cooling Tower. Re-excavated the excavation under the tower. 2:23. River Road, east extension. Gravel spread almost the length of the new road. 2:35. Southend, east. Apron. Bottom left. Smaller black pipes, with flanged fittings. 4:28. River Road, south. Square concrete pad in between where a section of stormwater drain has been removed. 11:51. Battery, diagonal corner. Highway berm. Orange fibre duct lengths laid out. 12:23. Casting, diagonal corner. Apron. Rebar placed, and concrete being placed for pavement repair over the new electrical ducts. 12:58. Casting, east. Baghouse Project. 2 hopper units installed. 13:13. BIW, roof. Electrical cables ‘exiting’ the ducts and turning south. 13:20. BIW, apron. Trenching for fire hydrant relocation. 15:52. Batch Plant. Texas Concrete logo on the trucks. Batch plant now owned by Texas Concrete (Texas Materials). Information from @forwardthinkingtrucker, longtime occasional youtube commenter. Trucks at the temporary batch plant at 14:12 are marked MM, presumably that plant still operated by Martin Marietta. 15:55. Cathode, west. Tank Farm. 4th vaporizer returned. As noted by Bob Callahan. Plant platform. 2 large generator trailers, and what might be mobile chillers. Pump looking items on the trailers.

Going to be a wet week. We had a set of heavy thunderstorms come through this afternoon (Saturday 6July) and even though it looks like the hurricane is going in farther East than hoped, we should get more significant rain on Monday and Tuesday. Nothing like the 4 to 6, maybe even 8, we were hoping for but at least 2 or 3 inches.

Wow Brad ! Thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks Brad.

Merci👍👍👍

The configuration of the brown cooling water pipes, on their way to a lowest point in a pit underneath the CT, points to the application of so-called Concrete Volute Pumps, a vertical dry pit pump. This type of pump can handle enormous flows and a single stage pump can do say 50m of water column height which looks OK here. More info can be googled for those interested. I must say all the signs were already there for the future installation of vertical pumps; for horizontal pumps rather large concrete slabs would be necessary to place the base plates of the pump assemblies. We may still see various other pumps for auxiliary services and dosing of algaecides etc.

When are they going to be finished with construction. Every video I see shows some state of assembly.

OMG Cyber Cab at 3:26 lower left of screen?

Thanks Brad! Cooling: @ 2:05 5' diameter pipes being extended towards the cooling tower. @ 2:11 a close up view. South of River road: @ 4:27 Ongoing work on the stormwater pipes going to the river outfall structure. Fiber optics: @ 11:49 (Towards the bottom) Orange conduits laid out on the ground. New power supply to the building: @ 12:21 (Left) Another section of duct-banks completed. Though they still have to cross the road. @ 15:12 They still have to construct the small section between the vaults. This is where the new duct-banks cross over the existing main power duct-banks to the factory. @ 15:24 The last section of duct banks that need to be completed. Rooftop cable trays: @ 13:12 (Bottom right) Not new but worth mentioning... The point where some cables leave the main cable tray run and go through cable ducts in the roof at the north end of BIW. Also the point where the existing main power duct-banks enter the building.

Any video today? Hope all is well after the hurricane.

Incrível documentário grata por poder assistir sucesso sempre no aguardo dos próximos conhecimento e vida

With the parking garage, boring tunnel, southend and the cooling towers almost all ready there is less and less progress to see. Still expect some more chargers and paving on the east side as the tunnel will become in use.
