The factory construction is moving along quickly, and each time I visit the site I'm completely amazed at the scale of the activity, especially that so much is done by hand. In preparation for the walk, we were required to take a safety orientation around fall protection, and wear full body harnesses with big hooks that would allow us to quickly tie-off if we were on any elevated platforms. The picture of me in my safety gear turned out pretty dorky, but as a testament to my humility I've posted it anyway.
The method of building the scaffolding by hand to enable the concrete forms to be built and poured is impossibly labor intensive. Each bracket is assembled and bolted together by hand, attached to pipes, and aligned like a giant tinkertoy set.
Imagine manipulating each of the brackets in sub-freezing temperatures, freeing up rusty bolts, and making sure you're pieces of the giant puzzle all fit up with the rest of the hundreds of other folks doing the same thing.
