Busy Summer Building

Building in America …

Our assembly lines are busy, and the parking lot is full.

Our whole house fans are built out of aluminum and galvanized steel panels. The flat parts have already been “punched” out of 4 x  8 sheets of aluminum or steel. As you’ll see below, there’s still a lot of processing like bending (on the Accurpress brake) and adding studs and fasteners with the PEM machine.

SOLAR INSTALL part 2: CONCRETE FOOTINGS AND MORE

Our solar install continues weather permitting (a Southern Oregon winter is a rainy mess) Between rain showers we were able to complete the second phase of construction.

SOLAR INSTALL part 1: FROM A BLACKBERRY BUSH…..

We thought we would share some pictures of our new solar installation here at AirScape HQ. We chose a site on an unused corner of the property that is perfectly situated for our solar install . The site was cleared of a massive blackberry bush so that work could begin. Blackberries are an invasive species here in Oregon so we didn’t feel too bad about removing them even though they were so delicious. We’ll put up more pictures as the work continues.

The site cleared and holes dug for the footings

 

The footing forms in place and the trenches dug for the electrical conduit
