shows the circuit setters were installed today but the return piping to the chiller hasn't been connected.

 

 

1 shows the unistrut frame installed and a steam piping assembly attached for the seal tank.  There's also similar assembly steam piping for the fluoride and caustic tanks already made and should be installed tomorrow (I hope).

2 shows the poly heat exchangers at both ends of the fluoride tank. 

The mounting at the top of both heat exchangers had to be completely modified to fit over the CO-PP liners which worked out for the better because they are now both stronger and easier to remove if needed.

 

 shows a lot of material moved to be able to accept the 20' brake tomorrow.

 shows the roll up door at the loading dock installed.  The roll up between Absolute and anodizing is also in, but not the one between the north warehouse and anodizing.

 

1 shows the fire extinguisher in with the paving done over the top. 

The pipe terminates near Beltline Road at the open pit.

 

shows the open pit and the blue pipe to the right is the one that will feed the fire extinguisher.  This work isn't supposed to start back up until Tuesday of next week, the reason is waiting on parts is what I was told.  It's likely to rain so they might have a swimming pool after the weekend.

 

shows the cover over the flume.  The railroad ties were left overs that were used to help support the trench plates in the wide gaps.  The flume is set in sand and dirt, no concrete.  The railroad ties and cover help provide weight to help prevent the flume from wanting to float.

 

15 shows the entire west wall painted floor to ceiling, and the south wall half done.

 

Pic 16 shows landscape work being done adjacent to Caterpillar Rd.

 

 

Pic 17 shows new parts to be used for the RPP/fire hydrant being installed at Beltline Road.

Note that there will likely need to be a fire watch while the thrust blocks sit for 24 hours, which may be tomorrow or Thursday.

 

Pic 18 shows the beginning of excavation at Beltline Road.  The PVC line in the background may be the irrigation line for Beltline Road, TBD by T&M work.

 

Pic 19 shows the hoist with power hooked up to it from the cable carrier.  The End of Line J box is also installed with wiring to it from conductors leading to the control panel which also has the wiring landed.  Wiring from the cable carrier to the J box is the only item left and we're waiting on Jessup to give direction as to how the cable carrier terminates at the elevated trough.

Pic 20 shows the mounting panels that will be used for the 2 step and anodizing controls as well as Shasta Controls main panel.  This is also set up for any future controls for 2 step and anodizing.

 

Pic 1 shows the south roll up door area ready for paint.  Roll up doors were supposed to be installed this last week but they're apparently waiting on this work to be complete.

 

Pic 2 shows the work at the 4300 building Path of Travel.  The same access mat used prior to the exterior door will also be used in the vestibule to avoid multiple colors contrasting into the building.  This mat appears to be very durable and apparently priced well.  Demolition has stopped and as you can see the back fill has been installed and compacted.

 

Pic 3 shows the electrical completed at the concentrate storage area. 

The plumbing for these are mostly complete also however the final tie ins to the tanks inside the building have not been met yet.  The last caustic tank will be removed to allow for installation of the eye wash/shower/holding tank.

 

Pic 4 shows all of the splash walls installed.  In the background you can also see that the handrail on top of the Crystallizer has also been installed.  The steam ports on the side of the Crystallizer have also been removed and welded shut.  If zoomed in, you can see that the caustic and sulfuric plumbing has been installed up to the DMP holing tanks, but the bulkhead fittings haven't been installed yet.

 

 

Pic5 shows the electrical hooked up to all of the rectifiers.  This ended up being contract work where it was thought to be T&M. Some motor hook ups are also contract work.  Notice in the background the buss bars welded up through the verticals near the tanks (first anodize tank only so far).

 

Pic 6 shows the cable carrier and cable pulled so that it can be hooked up to the control panel next week when the electricians are done with contract work (likely Wednesday).  Wiring will be hooked up to the hoist and down to the End of Line J box today.

 

Pic7shows the 2" x 6" buss bars being cut to length after being welded together.  These are for ano tank 1.

 

.

Pic 8 (out of order) shows low pressure air agitation installed in a couple tanks. All LPA agitation lines should be installed today

 Pics 11 and 12 show the path of travel work done up to the 4300 building

Pics 13 and 14 show the work done at the path of travel today.

Notes

 

*Sunrise began excavation of the new fire hydrant today.  They broke a small copper line underground but were able to shut water off to it.  At the time they didn't know what it went to.  I understand that they will have to have a watch person all night since the trench will be open and there needs to be a fire watch.

 

*Mounting panels were installed so that the 2 step and anodizing controls can be mounted.  Shasta Controls will use the same mounting panels which are scrap aluminum sheet attached to unistrut between the vertical hoist posts.
