Enough Power For A Tower | Ashville Weekly ep187

Head to Fvrr.co/ashville to check out the services available to you and use code ASHVILLE for 10% off!
It's a busy week with plant as one of our main bits of kit is broken down, we are dropped a demo, transport a Rubber Duck for the first time and a Plant Hire company refuses to trade with us.
We find out how wrong Daniel was about the cost of the new incoming electric, and we have a home for the used wooden sleepers from the new yard, but have challenges trying to reuse old track.

Start a mini series on the yard construction. If there's a camera friendly member of staff, they could be the main character. It would be an extra few Bob towards the work... your trenders now 😂😂 I'm sure you could get a pile of sponsors in it.

John Deere have been acquiring somewhat of a bad reputation as far as reparability goes. You should be careful about that if you ever intend to buy one of their product. The problem is that theses modern machines have a lot of electronics and you may need access when doing repairs to calibrate the machine. John Deere has been refusing to give access to non-certified technicians which basically forces owners to rely solely on John Deere technicians and approved mechanics. The laws are different in the UK, so I don't know how much of that would be an issue for you.

Hey Daniel. Great videos always. Just a piece of advise in seating posture. I noticed you often bend over your office desk. Practice seating upright to prevent lower back pain long term

[@phils749]

Correct me if I'm wrong (and no doubt you will) but smoke vent call points don't need to be orange, because Velux sells them in grey! which means in theory the outer case could match your decor better, the in inside will still have a red button and it will still say smoke vent but the shell/case is changeable!

[@EvilGenius.]

Can you add solar panels to your power grid once all the buildings are built in the new yard? That will give you somewhat of a cheaper cost in the long run and if you are there for 50 years that would be a huge savings too down the road! Even if you can only add one or four at a time to each building it would be a huge plus.

The tyre repair process should have a plug in the case, then the TIP TOP radial patch placed over the hole with the plug glued into it to stops water and other things getting into the tread and case, then that repair will last the tyre till completely worn-out, he needs to follow the TIP TOP correctly. Just saying from 20 years of heavy tyre industry. 😊.

Regarding the power, you’re missing a big opportunity for renewable energy, I.e solar power and air/ground heat pumps. You have so much space and land that you could install solar panels over the new roofs you’re building and before concreting the yard, you can install ground source heat pumps.

22:05 might have been a good idea for the lads to put some 15mm packers behind the sign framing…. Allow the water to pass through, and avoid having a blowout if water is trapped behind the vinyl sign.

My old company had a 800Kv generator because of a power failure lost a lot of data, but the downside was it had to be tested every week and this was done by the security guards during the night. I use to chat with them, it takes just 15 mins for the whole site to be up and running and tested, you have to have your i.T servers up and running within a few seconds so no data loss. Everything you need should be on a control panel, hrs run etc.

[@sparkiegaz3613]

[@Matt-ke2tj]

It would be really interesting if we got to find out what the very large power connection is needed for. A typical yard of this size would normally be more than fine with a supply of 400A/278KVA with 250KVA committed, I wonder if there is some battery electric plant or new processing machinery in the pipeline. In any case starting off with a 250KVA supply would mean you wouldn't need to pay for your own substation as the DNO would be able to supply this at 400V, and distribution boards for this size are off the shelf parts available at a fraction of the cost of a 1250A/800KVA board. You'd probably be looking at about 10% of the connection cost, and lower ongoing cost too. If this route was taken it would be smart to put in a second duct to the site boundary so that you could add a further 250KVA supply in future.
