    Thanks Jeff.
    0:01. Casting, roof. Framework turns west around the diagonal corner.
    0:09. Casting, roof. Pipework (marked ’TMW’ and ‘OWW’) turns west before dropping through the roof just short of the wall between Paint and Plastics.
    0:15. BIW, roof. Framework and cable trays widen to 3 lanes with a lateral/branch west. Main Electrical Switchroom may be the destination for the lateral/branch.
    0:33. BIW, roof. Hotdog vendor.
    0:40. BIW, roof. Pipework expansion loops every 5 or 6 columns.
    0:48. BIW, roof. Pipework branches west across the roof ridge and into Drivetrain.
    1:01. BIW, roof. Roof access stairwell. Pipework loops around the stairwell, will require an access ramp/stair over the loop.
    Cable tray over the roof of the stairwell. I wonder why the pipework didn’t follow the same route.
    1:09. BIW, roof. Scaffold platform. 2 spools/reels/drums of cable under blue tarpaulins. Spools are on rollers, ready to start paying-out the cable from the platform.
    1:21. Stamping roof. Pipework and cable tray both end a little past the Tank Farm.
    3:07. Westside. Tunnel Project. Left. Bucket of dry earth in the back of the dump truck to create a dam, before the wet spoil is dumped in.
    Replacement excavator sitting on a earth platform.

      1:09 They are also going to have to place rollers and guides along the entire 3,600 ft. length of the cable tray stack in order to protect the cable during the pull. Didn't see any yet. But then I don't have the best screen. I also tried to post a link to a video on pulling medium voltage (MV) Cable over cable trays/ladders, but UA-cam didn't like it and it disappeared down the YT black hole.

    @ 0:01 The double stack cable tray/ladder run extends the full length from angled corner to angled corner. Google earth shows it to be about 3,600 feet!
    The north termination is slightly off-screen to the bottom right. Close to the point above where the new duct-banks from the substation approach the building. There are a few interesting points along the way....
    @ 0:16 The stacked trays split out into different 'lanes'. This is right at point where the existing main power duct-banks bring power into the building.
    It is also the furthest point north the cable trays/ladders have been placed on the supports so far.
    @ 0:33 Crew doing some work at this section.
    @ 0:52 Section incomplete.
    @ 1:00 Two lanes at the roof access structure. Another stack of cable trays to the right.
    Also @ 1:00 Two pipes coming out to go around the roof access structure. The support frames are for piping and cable trays.
    @ 1:08 First spotted by Dessie yesterday... Two cable spools on the loading platform. Cable pull likely coming soon.
    Not sure what is under the blue tarp above the cable trays.
    @ 1:15 Sections incomplete.
    @ 1:20 South termination of cable tray/ladder run.
    Also note it is the end of the pipe run. Not too far from the tanks on the other side of the wall.

    I strongly doubt they would run data lines exposed to weather, in Texas, with all possible hurricanes.

    • @DessieDoolan
      @DessieDoolan 3 місяці тому +1

      Electrical supply. Might primarily be for the Data Centre, but maybe the remainder of the southend extension also, cooling tower etc.

    Looks like they have used a whole bunch of those cement tunnel liners. Unless there are more where they park the trailers by the highway.

      Concrete tunnel liners.

      @DessieDoolan 3 місяці тому +3

      72 stacks of 3 segments by the trailers in Joe photos earlier today. Some may be rejects. Assuming 60 usable stacks of 3 gives 30 complete liner rings. 150' 45.75m
      Plus others stacks by the conveyor cassette.

      Seems most of conveyor cassette capacity used up, cannot see any spare conveyor belt reel. Does it mean nearly finished digging?

      Joe's video today at 14.29 is a better shot.

    Here is some interesting information that I got in a reply to my one of my comments on Brad's video 5/23/24. Sounds like he is working on the project....
    "Yep we start on the 30th, 4 UPS per room with 240 Batteries per UPS, 24 Rooms per floor, for 3 floors..
    So 96 UPS per floor, 23,040 Batteries per floor..
    288 UPS and 69,120 batteries…
    Not including extra rack batteries…"
    His reply was in response to my comment.....
    "There is a new permit for the data center.....

      @DessieDoolan 3 місяці тому +2

      Central structure under the grey roof, at least part of it is a Data Centre.
      Remainder of building not exactly known. My money is on production line/s.
