Thanks Brad.
1:03. Southend, Cooling Tower. Nice looking structure. Honest.
Top platform (fan deck) overhangs the structure below on the west side only.
1:31. Southend, east pond. Peeled back the lining to excavate a trench. Drain into the pond likely.
1:39. Southend, Cooling Tower. Right. Assembling a fan on the ground.
1:48. Southend, east pond. Adding a second layer of the liner.
2:52. BIW, apron. Temporary HVAC set-up. Utilizing the high level wall opening for access into the building.
3:23. Stamping 2, roof. Top right. Pipe and cable tray support framework being extended across the roof. Some cable tray installed.
3:53. Southend, Cooling Tower. Under. Driving sheet piling into the excavation.
4:50. Southend, south. Apron. Assembling a rebar cage for the fire escape passage extensions.
5:25. Southend, west. 4 corners of the stormwater drain splitter box seen by dot joining 3 manhole grates, and the uninstalled precast riser beside the front-end loader.
5:32. Southend, west. North-south stormwater drain turns at 45deg to meet the splitter box. Hence the new drain turning at 45 deg.
6:42. Westside, Tunnel Project. Thrust ring, and invert ramp removed. Shipped off site, not at 9:02.
13:08. Battery, north. Design rethink with the studwall infill.
13:40. Casting, north. Apron. Pavement demolished for the ductbank excavation.
Road. Concrete barriers removed around the south.
14:03. Casting, east. Apron. Screw pile installation.
14:26. Casting, east. Apron. Formwork for various machine/tank plinths. ‘Housekeeping pads’ might be the US term.
14:47. BIW, apron. Saw-cutting the concrete for demolition.
To continue the Steel-GRE discussion: at 3:44 I fancy a male joint at the end of the uncovered pipe. Recipe: brush rough, apply one of these modern ultra-strong adhesives, shove a new piece of pipe over it, apply heat, weld sleeper under the pipe to take the weight. Finally, fix piping structure within concrete blocks to prevent lateral movements. The weak point here in my Thesis is the welding part, I don't think the welding torch should come anywhere near GRE material. We need a Peer Review!
@@hardernl8893 3:44. In Joe's video/photos from Friday there was a green tape/fabric being wrapped around the joint. Gone in today's video.
The red welding screen is still in place. There's a blue ring around the pipe in previous videos/photos. Joe's 17 photo 66, Joe's 19 June photo 94. Brad's previous video also. I take that it's a jig of some sort used to prepare the joint for welding/fusing/gluing.
Second layer of liner being installed in the pond. Might be something expected in the pond more than water. Something that might prevent corrosion in steel pipes?
@@DessieDoolan Google Which Chemicals to Use in Cooling Tower and you'l find corrosion inhibitors, algaecides and biocides and scale inhibitors, The sum total of all those chemicals I wouldn't like to see seeping in ground water table and reach the Colorado river! And cleaning of a cooling tower including a complete dump of the water is definitely part of the equation, sooner or later. A bloom in algae growth for instance can surprisingly quickly cause a major problem, requiring dumping the water and clean out the lot. A solid, double liner seems a very good idea.
Thank you very much, Brad
So happy to have your videos. I never miss even one. I also love the music! I don't see your videos as an alternative to Joe's. You and he have different approaches and both are greatly appreciated!
P.S. how coud I possibly get my *daily* fix if you both aren't filming. Love it when Jeff posts, too!
👌👌👌
come come
come to Texas !!!!
Cheeeeers mate. Surprised that there has not been any serious organisation of the castings out 'taking in the weather'.
Thanks Brad.
Thank you!
Seems that we dont know yet, why Tesla are super busy making so much extra parking space, as we for the time being only uses say 10 % of it, with the production of MY and The CT. I speculate that theres room enough for producing a million extra cars more a year in Austin, and that really cant be for the RoboTaxis…… yet. Only explanition in my view is it could be a couple of affordable compelling hatchbacks/compacts revealed on aug. 8. For the next couple of years, they are the only products, that could create that million units a year demand overnight.
SO I understand this was the one and only job for the PrufRok3 as the PrufRok4
Is ready to be tested so they are gathering up the 3 and it will be shipped back to
thr Boring co shop & retired. Scrapped? Maybe. I expect their next tunnel will be
for the model Y from end of line to outbound lot.
!
To scrap a perfectly good TBM after tunneling only 1,300 feet would be extremely wasteful and stupid, but... Exactly what can be expected from the owner.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nnMaybe they can salvage part of it to reuse in the new TBM.
Close. No cigar. Cybercab to multi-level parking garage. . .
Out of sight, out of mind
Boring is only ~29 miles away, so any refurbishment or scrapping would be much easier to do there, where all their staff and equipment are. The only logical reason to do work on-site (that I can think of) is if there is more tunneling to do here. But I see no prepwork being done (in particular, the launch point for the tunnel segments to push against). So I'm a bit baffled.
@@satoshimanabe2493 Also, there no permits for a new tunnel.
Thanks Brad!
New power supply to the building:
@ 13:40 (Bottom) Work has finally been restarted!
New south pond:
@ 1:32 (Bottom right) Another trench into the new pond.
@ 1:50 (Left) A shallow excavation down the embankment to the existing pond for riprap to be placed.
@ 1:55 (Bottom) Riprap down the pond embankment in a second location.
Rooftop cable trays:
@ 3:26 (Right) Cable trays being extended further west and across the stamping 2 roof.
Cooling tower:
@ 3:57 Fan shrouds have removable access panels for maintenance.
@ 3:43 5' diameter cooling water pipes.
South expansion:
@ 3:59 A view into the second level. Data center can be seen (Yellow wall).
@ 5:32 Ongoing stormwater pipe work.
@ 5:58 A view inside the west end.
New estimate of rooftop cable tray span using Google Earth.... About 4,200 feet!
It sounds like you may be warming up to Tesla a bit.
@@jbbuzzableno he isn’t he still says stupid things..
@@michaeljohnson1805 What is stupid is the fans blindly following their "god". I just saw this video title saying that Tesla was going to be worth "$200 trillion" . And people actually believe this crap!
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn lol "fans". Maybe the fans are bots that have removable access panels? Whoa! Deep.
Incrível
I can't be the only one who wonders if anybody has driven a Cybertruck through the tunnel yet. It seems like the temptation once the machine was gone would be insurmountable. It just had to be a straight shot before driving surface gets started. Like a short time when the whole tunnel was hollow, and one brave Cyvertruck mover "forgot" to drive all the way around to the other side...... (and did that driver keep their job?) LOL
It will be a while before the tunnel is complete enough to drive a street legal car through it.
@@jbbuzzable Minor technicality..... and.... the Cybertruck is an "off-road" vehicle, after all.
It would be such a great tunnel for @mythbusters to experiment with or for @markrober to do something with!
No grey's yet
Kinda bummed no real sign of solar canopy over chargers anytime soon. Also wow at amount of building material still being staged on the northwest side.
They work Saturdays? For some reason I thought they had weekends off 🙊
Maybe because it’s the end of the quarter.
Not many workers the lot was almost empty. Looks like castings were being made/moved outside.
I also thought I had Saturdays off at my company until I went from hourly to salaried.
@@jbbuzzable lol!
3 12s...the 4 days off..then 4 12s and 3 days off.
I keep wondering. . . Just exactly WHAT is the reason for a multi-level parking garage with all that empty space. Perhaps 8/8 will provide an answer. . . 😉
And let’s talk about all those extra tunnel segments lying around. . .
To free up land that is being used for parking now. Those extra tunnel segment were rejects for what ever reason.
As for why multilevel but close in parking. I think they want to try and do away with having to run a large bus service from parking lots to work buildings. Right now they running a dozen busses at least 12 hours a day. That’s not cheap. Secondly, they want to build additional money making facilities. One of the classic Elon Musk concepts is total vertical integration. As they said about SpaceX rocket building at Hawthorne: aluminum, steel, titanium, copper, and plastic go in one end and rockets come out the other. This is totally different from 99% of the traditional aerospace industry with hundreds of suppliers. Musk thinks to do the same thing in the automotive industry. You need space to build those factories.
@@Bill_N_ATX Well said. For me an obvious target for vertical integration would be the glass. Some time ago I looked at YT videos on automotive curved glass manufacturing and it really looked high tech. Would this be too far fetched for Tesla to 1) master and 2) profitably include in their vertical integration?
@@hardernl8893 the trouble with glass is that so much of the high end glass, ie the energy efficient and tough glass is just covered up in IP and patents. You might be able to partner with Corning and PGW in the US and several Japanese companies but it would be expensive. Even more expensive to reverse engineer their products without impinging on their IP. But I fully get you. They must spend a fortune on glass per vehicle.
Hi William Wheeler, I have a question for you...
What do you think about a 500 MW data center? Setting aside whether there is enough capacity on LCRA's 345 kV lines, and the issues of getting 500 MW from the substation to the building at medium voltage... What effect does that have on the Texas grid during shortages? I know the Texas power grid is pretty much isolated from the rest of the country and they have asked people to cut back on power consumption from time to time.
