Thanks Brad. *Sort by Newest First or Top Comments if only the first few lines are visible* 2:45. Battery, west. Top left. Long view. Cranes not visible. Must be laying down. Top right from about 6:25, 8:19 also. 3:18. Westside, new project. Seems a shaft is to be constructed here to launch a ‘microtunnelling’ TBM under the river. There is a current permit for the ‘Giga Texas Wastewater Interceptor’ project. Address is south of the river, mentions minimum 25’ 7.5m diameter shaft, and max 7’ 2.m diameter tunnel. Presumably this north side is a mirror of those features. Some information coincidentally shown on the Sand Hill Lateral Pipeline Extension documents. 4:24. Westside, Tunnel Project. MotherTruck. Bottom right. Some roof panels fixed. I think I see screws. 9:53. Temporary Switchyard site. If this is a BESS, the method of construction differs from the existing BESS. 10:23. Temporary Switchyard site. Left stack of screw/auger piles. 10:55. Battery, roof. No obvious visible change that would require such a large crane. Nothing of note hoisted onto the roof. 11:18. Casting, north. Apron. Right. Pavement demolished in front of the triplet of doors. Rebar placed. 11:27. Casting, diagonal corner. Apron. Pavement demolished in front of the drive-through door. 12:29. Battery, roof. Top right. Lot of people at the south of Battery. Top left 12:37 also. 13:33. Northend. Casting storage. Yellow caution tape around 6 Cybertruck front castings.
Perhaps the roof work has been delayed for a few days because of projected bad weather. That being said, the size of the crane would have to be excessive for the job. Wonder how the DBE 4680s are doing because its been radio silence for months now. RoboCyberTaxiCab will be LFP which makes sense given likely very high number of charge cycles but not heard what the McQ will use.
@@memrjohnno Yes, excessively large crane to lift rolls of roofing membrane. Something else being lifted well eastwards, hence the long fly. 8 squat columns on the roof are there to receive some bit of plant. DBE 4680s. Controversially, I don't think much is known at all about the production lines for 4680s. We've been watching equipment being shifted in, and sometimes shifted out, for years now. Levels 3 and 4 on the east side of Battery still appear to be either in the dark, or fitted with construction lighting only.
@@DessieDoolan The present Cybercell is good though nothing to write home about and even then would cost a bomb if or when not made at scale. Drew left last April and around that time Elon also suggested that the whole 4680 plan would go out the window if DBE wasn't solved by year end.
3:18 "minimum 25’ 7.5m diameter shaft, and max 7’ 2.m diameter tunnel" Is that information in the permit? The information I have from the gas pipeline documentation says 5' for the pipe diameter. I assume that is inside diameter. You're info may be more accurate if it is from the current permit.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn 3:18. On the CofA site, Permit 2022 183586 SP. In the folder attachments there's a bunch of documents. U0, 1, 2, and 3 have varying amounts of useful information. A lot of it is the same information repeated in each update.
Thanks Brad! New tunnel/Giga Texas Offsite Wastewater Interceptor project: @ 3:14 Based on a permit found by Frank and other Information spotted by Dessie..... The round circle in the gravel is where a vertical TBM shaft will likely be excavated. There will likely be a shaft on each side of the river. A small TBM will be lowered in one shaft to the proper depth, bore a tunnel under the river and be recovered in the other shaft. The wastewater interceptor will be a 5' diameter pipe. Running parallel to, and slightly east of the gas pipeline. Depth is unknown at this point, but the gas pipeline is about 85 - 90 feet deep at River road. While the wastewater interceptor has nothing to do with the gas pipeline... The gas pipeline documentation shows the location of other utilities and future projects. It shows the interceptor line running from the location of the southbound offramp, on the other side of the river, and heading north to about the location of the Cybertruck tunnel. Of course, this is just partial information shown on one page, not the full extent of the project. Substation expansion project: @ 8:52 Conductors have been pulled between the A-frame towers. New Megapack site: @ 9:54 Screw piles driven down the middle. Another stack of piles @ 10:22 (Upper left).
3:14 For those who have a copy of the gas pipeline documentation... The wastewater interceptor is shown on sheets 19, 21 and 48. Sheet 19 being the important one. 9:54 Just a wild guess at this point, subject to being totally wrong..... The screw piles down the middle may be to support a medium voltage bus structure to collect power from the Megapack transformers. It wouldn't look very nice but would be cheaper than excavating trenches for duct-banks. Hope I'm wrong on this one.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Looking back to Jun 2023, they also used screwpiles building the bus/switch/transformer structure for the existing megapack yard; seems consistent. With the change in orientation, I was wondering if the megapacks will be installed in the rectangle formed east of there over to and including the cleared space by the main concrete plant? (which would require more dirtwork!?) or if we'll see the welcome center relocated!?
For the wastewater, are we expecting perhaps a ring of secant piles to depth with a concrete ring at the top for stability? Or will this be a permanent vertical shaft, concrete lined as well?
@@Gig0Surf Wastewater... I don't see that many ring forms for a complete concrete shaft. Unless they bring in more? Plus I'm guessing the shaft is temporary. But unfortunately, we simply don't have enough information yet. The shaft can be constructed from secant piles, sheet piles, concrete, or other means, and we don't know the depth either. Hopefully David Salisbury is following this and can chime in and help us out.
@@Gig0SurfIf they can aid in local grid stabilisation by flattening the demand curve AND sell 'excess' back to the grid with autobidder then may as well install a shi*load.
I really thought they'd be using eSemi about a year ago as a trialing source for product shakeout... there's a lot of local movement of vehicles that would seem to be well within range of even a 300mi model

Every single car loading lane has leaks from diesel trucks 😂😂
Not just from the diesel semi, the hydraulics on the trailers are leaking also.

Residual water dripping out after being showered in the EOL facility?
Another bright day mate. What sort of speed could a CT reach from a standing start to west side tunnel exit?
👋👍
What's the steel supports out of the ground at the new mega pack site?
Screw/auger piles. See Dessie's post above 10:23
THANKS BRAD 👍⚡️⚡️⚡️
03:29 I wonder why such a large median on that road
I don't know what their reason is, but it would be safer.
I've noticed that often large medians are painted when the road is built for 4 lanes, but only two lanes needed for the foreseeable future.
