Mr.Vic20 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 The contractor has placed the the roof decking and will start substrate work shortly for the EPDM system. Meanwhile the masonry sub is building up the CMU wall in the west that will house building mechanicals and some limited vacuum and mech lab space.

Keyser_Soze Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Also, why are you asking him if he's going to build a road? He builds buildings not roads. Ask the road builder at the boards for road questions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 The project has started exterior cladding. So that means a whole lot of scaffolding and masonry work, plus some metal form. And with scaffolding installed, here comes the brick veneer! Meanwhile, inside the the building interior MEP (Mechanical , Electrical, Plumbing) framing, and fire proofing are bopping along...

Mr.Vic20 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 November 15th it the current target date to turn the facility over to my customer group. This summer will be a fast, hot, slice of Hell, but I think we got it. Unfortunately for me, my customer group has enjoyed my services, so I have now received another two years of work at this facility. I started contracts with design teams to: * Fabricate the radiation shielding hutch and cave system for the High Magnetic Field beamline (2023-2024) * Design and install the experimental fit out of the high bay and caves associated with the HMF (2023-2024) * Perform a structural integrity study of the synchrotron ring (2023-2024) * Design and install beamline 6 infrastructure, AKA "X-leap" (2025-2026) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 OK, batch of progress photos! Thanks to the poor air quality in the tristate region right now, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was a photo taken at dusk or dawn...in the 1970s! Here the masons are toping out the East high bay wall with its brick veneer. These two images capture the start of placement for the high bay overhead bridge crane runway beams. And lastly, here you can see the iron workers installing the pan form stair case that will receive its concrete treads in the next few weeks. On July 7th the ring will go down for the summer and once again it will be a mad dash of MEP work until Sept 1st to stick to critical path and deliver full systems integration with the rest of the Wilson complex. From there its just a hop, skip, jump to turnover in November! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every guy on that wall sucks down a carton a week and would laugh if I asked them to stop working. Also, I don’t control their company’s policies. I hold their contract, but not their safety plans or response to environmental situations. So unless Cornell directs me to shut it down, we roll on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
