Ashley 10/21/10

 It was a wet week causing probably not as much progress as was hoped for.  This area was prepped for the truck unloading pad.
 Much work was done stabilizing the area west of the containment.

 Temporary power is nearly complete for the meter to be used in the new building

More warehouse cement was poured last Thursday.  Looks like a big warehouse.
 Underground raceways are being installed.  There are several pictures here showing the process.  It is quite time consuming.



 Office area has been brought up to grade.
Gas service is installed on building.  Waterline can also be seen (black stand pipe).

Williams 10/20/10

 
I had the chance to visit Williams this week, looking for opportunities to  upgrade the existing containment.  It was good to see everyone there and see as always, how smoothly things run.  There was very little distribution equipment on site, meaning that the wheels are turning getting product delivered.
