Thanks for sharing week 13 . Man that cabling and hose routing sure is a nightmare. Love following your progress from Australia. See you next week and thanks again.
Wow, you guys are definitely in the weeds now and it's looking good. It's apparent this system requires a massive volume of air & that compressed air system looked pretty impressive last week! Thanks for the update on the Gema install and last week's washer system Stan, looking forward to the next one.
Looking good, plenty of electrical bonding for the system, commissioning and start-up will most likely take some time to work the bugs out and fine tune the system.
I was envolved with gutting prior to demolition of a ww2 era building that had a 13th floor but you could only access it from the stairs the elevator skipped it.
With the leaking roof. Can you get the approval to use super strut , galvanized roofing panels and some rain gutter to protect the control box from future roof leaks that might reoccur.
Was that the only ground rod? Don't they bore a hole and fill with bentonite on fire hazard industrial installs like this ? (I'm no expert...my limited understanding of grounding only comes from recording studios, where grounding/clean current is an obsession to eliminate any ground loops, hum, line noise, phase issues, yada yada.) I once drove a copper rod for a house trailer, and was surprised how badly corroded it was in a year or so...doubted it was conducting at all, so I drove a new, longer one.

Another awesome episode! Lots of progress and great views. Always cool seeing how large operations come together.
They are going to have to build a lot of trailers to make that place pay for itself. Thanks for sharing.

Wow Stan, I haven't been grounded like that since I was a kid.

On the stranded cable do you install the crimp on sleeves so the buss bar screws have the best contact with all the conductors.
They use the euro CPD's (constant pressure devices) those don't work well with the crimped ferrule ends.

Very nice work Stan. Do your guys do all the terminations at the data plugs? or are they pre-made up? ....Thanks for sharing your work!!
Thanks Stan
looking great, is all the electrick wirings done yet
👍

The electrical system has its own ground & bonding jumpers. Our ground was strictly for the electrostatic system.
How many amp service does a building like that have?
3000 amp of 480V 2000 amp of 240V (dual feed) Both are 3 phase 4 wire systems
