7:41 The boring machine has rotated from when we last saw it. The front has been in a near-perfect 'X' for a while, but today it's more of a leaning '+'. Any movement is a good sign.
Merci👍👍👍
From more or less none to >200 CTs in 1 1/2 days, looks like perhaps 100-150/day rate atm
Thanks Brad
0:27. Southend. Parapet. Inconvenient to my previous statement that the short posts above the roof line correspond with the joint in the large glazing panels. Mostly do line up, just not around the corner area.
1:23. Southend, west. Northern most erected steel. Beam at a lower level. Columns on the ground have connection plates for more. Floor will be at the same elevation as the lower loading platform to the left.
2:01. Southend, west. Inside. Excavation commenced for the third wide trench. Inline with the Level 2 floor opening, and the retaining wall thickening on the south elevation.
2:18. Southend. Tank farm. Tops/lids installed on the smaller tanks.
2:31. Stamping, east. Apron. Bottom left. Coils of metal being delivered.
Electricity pylon. Utility vehicle parked under.
2:44. Parking Garage. Inside. Left. Materials stacked on the Level 1 floor.
Apron. Large ductbanks constructed towards the building.
3:23. Windtunnel. Bottom right. Cybertruck getting a blast.
3:43. BIW. Apron. Against the building. Green pumps, a manifold, and hoses. Some white cabinets, may be associated somehow.
Roof. Immediately above. Roof Pipework Project. Pipes crossing the roof from behind the parapet.
3:50. Parking Garage. Elevator shaft. Loading materials in through an opening.
5:03. Westside storage. Far right. Lots of flue components.
5:17. Westside storage. Electrical contractors compound. Right. Assembling what are likely transport yard lighting towers. 2 installed
and another being installed at 6:54.
Additional 4 Supercharger bases.
5:24. Westside. Old contractor parking. Bottom right. No cover on the stormwater drain. Grade to be raised.
7:53. Westside. Tunnel Project. Conveyor belt installation on the storage magazine/cassette. Day 55 of set-up by my count.
Trench with electrical conduit ends at the generators location. Might be planning to connect the Tunnelling Project to the electrical supply.
8:21. New EOL Superchargers. Small white trailer mounted Daleks must be wi-fi, or some other electronic gadgetry.
10:48. New switchyard/substation. Tracked boom-lift has been there for a month or more. Handy storage location I guess. Hasn’t been used.
Mega-Vaults. Spreading gravel around the perimeter.
11:20. Westside. North storage. 2024 Evapco line now in stock.
11:44. Battery west. Apron. Right. All stairs now demolished.
12:18. Plastics. Apron. Pellet delivery.
12:54. Casting east. Apron. Piling work has halted. One pile trimmed at ground level. Right of the excavator.
13:01. Casting. Roof. Nice view of the Roof Pipework Project behind the parapet.
13:34. Die Shop, south. Right. Excavating in front of the doors.
14:03. Cathode west. Tank Farm. Spill containment walls being constructed. Note that the area has been expanded west 5’ 1.5m or so.
5:17 Preparing to convert the old ones to the new format? Will need four more bases.
8:21 Dr Who fan are ya?
11:20 New models can be stores for even longer!
@@sammyk874 8:21. Not at all! My elder siblings watched it religously. I never took to it. More a 'Hitch-hikers guide' fan.
@@sammyk874 11:20. Make note of the date. Average installation time measured in years.
Great Music
South end:
@ 2:19 Lids placed on 2 of the tanks.
Parking garage:
@ 2:47 (Lower left) Conduit headed for the building. Speculating that the larger conduits on the left are for power and the smaller conduits on the right are for fiber optic cables.
Also... Concrete pour on the top deck. A better view @ 4:06
East parking lot Superchargers:
@ 3:36 Cars still being charged on this side.
EOL facility:
South:
@ 7:25 Trench for the duct-bank heading to the west.
Superchargers:
@ 8:10 Half of them partially operational or testing. The other half roped off and some cabinet doors are open. Most cars are still charging at the east parking lot Superchargers.
Also @ 8:10 Large open cabinet.... Left 24.9 kV, right 480 volts.
BESS substation:
@ 9:46 and 9:55 Switches to the megapacks are closed. Can't see the 6 switches on the east for backup power to the building. They were open as of yesterday.
Megapacks:
@ 10:02 Three work vehicles in the yard.
Tesla Enclosure/Mega-vault:
@ 10:46 Spreading out gravel.
Video Fantastic, thanks you Brad, from Spain
Dear Brad. Always enjoying your videos. Learning to fly a drone, is a bit like riding an airplane. In WWI pilots were flying without many rules, and most rides were like a rollercoaster experience. Nowadays pilots have some flyong patterns, that make the trip smoothe, and avoids the passengers from vommiting. Now, how can this be used as a drone pilote? I talked to an airline pilote, and he told me about the crosswind, the downwind, the base and the final. A rectangular flying pattern, and a something thats also of value flying a drone. Other rules: Never do two manuvres at the same time. Never zoom or pan, when the drone is moving in any upwards, downwards or sideway direction. That will make the viewer(your passenger) disoriented. If you can always follow straight lines on the ground. In ex. Coastlines, roads, building lines, rivers, cabellines, trainlines ect. Per in 😎🇩🇰
Thanks Brad
Thanks, Brad! Great shots!
Nice low altitude shots Brad. Good job.
Thanks, Brad. Lots of Cybertrucks, for sure. Hope Jeff, Joe or you will be able to catch the Boring when it gets going.
I am sure we will catch it in action.
A streetsweeper OMG!!
Thank you!
gorgeous down there as the green gets all vivid this month...
Lots of bluebonnets right now. They bloomed out early this year.
looks like 5-6' tall trim panels see the metal posts above the roof? they will support the trim and it will make the building look like it has a nice level top instead of showing the roof slope against the level top of the glass
question, all the metal appears to be where the tunnel will end.. A lot of work will need to done to get ready
Die Megapacks stehen ja schon wieder still!?
Thanks 🫠
I would estimate that they are already producing 1,000 CTs a week. Is that possible?
Thanks Brad! And you got me a glimpse of the area they're keeping the tunnel segments (south of Prufrock along the tollway). For some reason, everybody seems to skip that area. I imagine they will wait until all segments are on-site before they start the tunnel, so it may be an indicator when there's a significant increase (so far they have
Most TBM projects don’t have the luxury of such space and therefore only hold 2/3 days of production worth of segments on site. Also, stacking segments on the dirt is generally not allowed. Risk of contamination of the extrados and the gasket groove as well as fall over risk if a full ring height is stacked (maybe why they are only stacking half rings)
@@davidsalisbury50 Thanks for the frequent replies to my comments and questions! Where do you think the tunnel exit will be (or won't be), based on your experience?
@@davidsalisbury50 I see on another TH-cam channel (that doesn't bear naming) you mentioned 28 days for the segments to cure. Are segments ever autoclaved for speed of production, or is ambient curing more desirable?
I'll second @satoshimanabe2493's thanks for your ongoing expert commentary.
@@DessieDoolan Hi Dessie,
Yes, it is fairly common to use autoclave (Steam curing) on segment production lines. Obviously, this tends to be either on the very large projects or in factories specializing in tunnel segment or other precast concrete production. The autoclave process is generally used for early strength achievement to allow early demoulding of the segments to recycle the moulds quicker and allow handling of the partially cured segments. it is very unusual to allow segments to be incorporated into the works before 28day strength tests have been conducted, but not unheard of. Segments are traditionally stamped with their date of manufacture, as well as information cast in about the mould used etc. for quality control purposes. These days many precast companies use barcode or QR codes to trace a segment through the whole manufacturing process much like any other production line.
TBC don't appear to have autoclave facilities at their Bastrop manufacturing site (assuming these segments are made there).
I don't pretend to be an expert, but I do have a fairly wide knowledge of tunnelling after 30+ years at it as a contractor, design consultant, employer, manufacturer and now independent consultant. Each of these fields have plenty of real experts with a more detailed knowledge than me.
@@satoshimanabe2493 I expect a straight drive across the highway. From the recent structural assembly on the other side, I suspect it will surface in the open area between the existing and newly constructed buildings.
Does anybody know if we can expect the multilevel parking garage to be painted white eventually? Or will it be left bare concrete?
Good chance for paint.
@@DessieDoolan or stain...
@@sammyk874 Yeah! Paint/Stain wars again!
@@DessieDoolan They view paint with disStain
@@benguthrie49I'll pay that! Gold star.
as mentioned before how they going seal the big gapping hole above the glass
It's a curtain wall. They could use panels made out of almost anything.
Do your best and caulk the rest!
Glass likely. Test panels of the correct width and height seen on Level 2 at 4:47 above the first 3 glazed units installed.
I prefer your videos without the narration. You show the progress without the ridiculous guessing. It is like prime rib compared to baby food on the other channels.
Don’t understand why we have gone back to videos with out narratives
Neither Brad nor Jeff have narrated videos.
My videos are a visual updates not a documentary. I would take too much of my time to do an accurate narration for very little money. Plus I don't like to BS, there is plenty of that on other TH-cam channels.
Within a year or so, the majority of the window glass will be removed and replaced by solid walls. No way anyone will want to work in that type of environment in that part of Texas. The summer time A/C load alone will be too much even for Tesla.
Doesn't Texas have many glass walled skyscrapers?
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn It sure does, pretty much all the major cities. Maybe not San Antonio.
it's 7-ply low-E glass designed to keep the cool
The low E-glass will help, but it will still be hotter than a regular wall. I suspect that it won't be offices, but more a display of the production line, specifically the speed of the line. The upcoming $25,000 car will need a really fast production rate.
