Yard update 9/11/23

 

I went to the yard to get some pictures of Edile's workers so I can make their name badges. Side note, the people here LOVE name badges.  It is like a status symbol to them.  I had to go back to the office to make them and Cory took them back to the workers and he said "you would have thought I had given them 100 dollars. They were like little kids at Christmas."

Anyway, here is the latest update of how the yard is coming along. This is just as much Cory's journal as it is mine so he is helping me write this, hence the detail I don't understand!!

They have poured a cement pad in between the containers and there will be a roof over it for a work area. The shipping container on the left will be for tools and equipment. The one on the right is a staff lounge area and they will be serving food from there. The lean-to off it will have chairs and table under it. The red container in the back is where they have been crushing concrete cubes to test the strength.

The ramp is done for the loading of the batch plant.  The cement walls in the background will house the gravel and sand for the concrete. 

This is the feed hopper, where 2 different kinds of sand and gravel can go in and it will weigh the materials before it goes out onto the conveyor belt.

Cory, Darius, Trent and the guy from Turkey have spent a week assembling this plant. They are putting the lower section of the silo together.

The black and yellow silo needs to go on top of the base to the right of it.  

Update 10/2 - I went to the yard today with Cory and here is the Silo, it is so tall.  People walking by try and open the gate to see what is going on in there!
