Yes,
Interior / Exterior updates???
Just boring MPE stuff. Set the six AC units on top of the roof.
Not enough drillers so that has been a big wait. 
What was that 10 x 100' corrugated galv tank for ?Just boring MPE stuff. Set the six AC units on top of the roof.
Your sprinklers are getting put up as well.
Hangar Door comes in two weeks and drywall and insulation for the entire building. That will be more interesting as the door comes in pieces and is welded on site.
They are drilling two dry wells so we can deposit hydrocarbons directly into the ground water. City code that I don’t get.
Nothing to really see in this stuff.
I know the UG Jet Fuel storage tanks @ Miramar for the JE test cells required we install monitored cathodic protection. I guess what stumped me about this tank was his initial pic with what appeared to be an unshaded direct buried drain line. So I thought maybe it was for wash down or building drains that had to be collected rather than allowed to spilling into the storm water system ??
That makes more sense due to the type of material used. Dan will let us know..
Water retention during a rain event. They probably covered up too much ground for water to percolate into during a rain event. So they install a tank to offset that. When it rains, site rain water will drain into the tank vs. flowing out onto the street. Think of it as temporary water storage. Over time, like a week, that water in the tank will percolate into the ground to replenish the ground water.
Your ad here is correct.
Is the fan one of the "Big Ass Fans"? Moving a branch line could possibly make them add more sprinklers. Hard to tell. I see the pipes but I don't see the fire sprinklers attached. Maybe they will drill them later. The mains look like 6". I thought the UG fire main was 4"Here are some of Bobby's fire lines. Interestingly they put a line right down where one of the fans attaches to the ceiling......so now they have to spend a bunch of time and move it.
The Hangar AC's are set and plumbed.

Four to six. Beats me it is what the city wanted. The FDC is six?Is the fan one of the "Big Ass Fans"? Moving a branch line could possibly make them add more sprinklers. Hard to tell.

Three systems.
This company sure does things different then most. We pre fab / weld most of the pipes in the shop. Cheaper to pay a shop guy then a fitter in the field.Four to six. Beats me it is what the city wanted. The FDC is six?
They do drill them later. Seems silly to stand 30 feet up and drill but I just pay the bills.
Work for forty years with long hours on planes around the world doing things others do not want to do that are not fun, get really lucky, take a lot of risk and live long enough to get old.
Pretzel business.
thanks for responding and sharing this with us! cant wait to see what goes in it.Work for forty years with long hours on planes around the world doing things others do not want to do that are not fun, get really lucky, take a lot of risk and live long enough to get old.
It would be much more useful when I was thirty or forty but youth is wasted on the young.
I actually thought it was very nice. I know plenty just like him, even have some family in the business. Cool building, just keeping it real.That wasn’t very nice, at least cut him some slack in his own thread this isn’t the dungeon.
I still don't get the 4" UG to 6" OH.
Is the 6" T above the back flow for the FDC. Now all they need is a drain valve, PSI gauge and a Flow Switch to go with the tamper switches to be tied into the fire panel.Sprinkler porn for Bobby
The FDC is 6 inch.I still don't get the 4" UG to 6" OH.
Some cities require the FDC to be a certain distance away from the building. Fireman don't like hooking their hoses to the FDC if the walls fall after the roof fails.The FDC is 6 inch.
I guess the pressure is very high so 4 supply works until the OH and then they want six for volume at lower PSI. Beats me.
The FDC was moved to the street from the side of the building. I guess no one wants a nice paint job near a fire?
With respect to the other stuff, all I know is 20 bucks a month plus 120 annually for the inspection.

One for the boss and his wife.
Your new sig line! very appropriate!It would be much more useful when I was thirty or forty but youth is wasted on the young.
most jurisdictions in the bay area want FDC curbsideSome cities require the FDC to be a certain distance away from the building. Fireman don't like hooking their hoses to the FDC if the walls fall after the roof fails.
Edit…Forgot you have a steel roof. Not a wood roof.
As much as I'm quite comfy sitting in the nose bleed section and just enjoying the show. I do occasionally see something that's apparently done in AZ that certainly we couldn't didn't, wouldn't, or couldn't in San Diego. Of course for a lot of years, we were Qualcomm's golden haired child, and if you could make them happy, you'd desire an award and standing ovation.
So I'll just leave this here, not saying there's anything out of sorts, just well, different.

No worries. Observations from those with experience are always welcomed.Rather than edit my prior post alerting Dan to possible code violations, I'll state my retraction in this post.
After learning the purpose of that conduit, which serves as both a raceway and means of physical protection for the building fiber network cable, there is no code violation. The sections noted above only apply to supporting from electrical conduit and raceways, not data.
There are three FBO's that will send a truck and sell fuel at a deep discount for onsite fueling. Plus a city run dispenser.
On top.
