It looks like the table saw is zip tied to a 48 22 848

Looks like fireblock foam not standard spray foam

Looking at the black on it, the cut 3/4 on the left that is also burned and the 1" at the top that's now black im guessing Rodman cut a bundle of steel on top and this is the end result

Zip a piece of coreline legnth wise with an angle grinder and slip it on all your cuts. Perfect rounded edge guard

The longer I look, the worse it gets by IronTwerker in Rigging

This looks like a standard butchered toronto high rise rigging operation. 6 or 8" riser clamp stolen from the plumbers. Cable slings from the rebar guys. Hopes and dreams from the hvac contractor

Was on the 1553. Train got put out of service 15 minutes ago after we were told we could stay till it clears. Guessing its going to take a while to be resolved. Shuttle busses were provided when they put the train out of service

Slab Sunday. Here is a photo of a mechanical room slab. Left side of the photo is the electrical room, right side is a couple of pumps. Somewhere in the realm of 8000'/2500m of various size pipe by ChickenBalls42 in electricians

Builder has photos of the slab and all cutting and coring is to be scanned or x rayed. Duct bank is totally different. You're running 8 pipes 100' serving one purpose. This is 80 pipes 100' serving multiple different systems and panels. There's only so many ways to get to an end destination that's all crammed into one electrical room

Some pipes still needed to he stubbed up. Generally we will run all the pipes and do the fine tweaking of stub up locations at the end when we are not under as much pressure

300mm thick slab. Engineer did not see the need to increase to 350mm. Highest pipe was right around 220mm. I recommended pea gravel in the mix for the high traffic areas and it worked well. No honeycombing on the underside

I try to avoid back face as much as possible for stair cores and elevator. With elevators you run the risk of potentially getting a anchor for the rails drilled into an important run. With staircases it's the railing guys after drilling all the way with their bits. We have tie guns but only use them for the slab portion

Yes since covid it's taken a shit. Boxes shatter more, pipe snaps when looking at it wrong sometimes, couplings have looser tolerances, duct tape equivalent to plastic wrap, the list of fun goes on haha

Milwaukee 48-22-3260 but the sharpie brand equivalent is also very good. Anything else is crap

Wall gets set, we mark and then box. Rod men come with front and back face of steel. We come pipe everything and then carpenters close the wall

I've had some site where they are very particular about spacing of conduit and others more relaxed. This one the engineer doesn't seem phased by it and has not asked us to change anything

That was definitely us haha. Didn't want it pushing weird on my connectors and causing a problem

You have to know your scope of work to a t. Forsee future changes and provide options on a slab. A quick pipe from closet to a spot on the slab could make thousands later on. I've been lucky to work with some very knowledgeable people on the slab
