Also finished water piping to recirculation pump and boiler feed. Electricians came to wire everything up, I think they did a pretty good job.

More progress, finished the boiler piping and gas piping

What is a chemical pot feeder for,

.

It’s a device that allows chemicals to be added to the boiler system without introducing a bunch of excess air/water

Side stream filters/ chemical pot feeder got piped in in the last couple days, along with the boiler water make up assembly.

Here is everything probably 90% finished. Built a little wall out of unistrut for some of the filters and the chemical and water feeds.

Got most of the piping for the boilers and pumps complete, just a couple of unit heaters to install now.

Ups is not the greatest I’ve had issues before

You guys sure have some short summers.

We are pretty far north. I don’t mind though, it keeps things interesting.

How big are the hot water tanks?

These are 500L tanks

this is all gas fired equipment here there are a couple of small electric heaters but the electricians install those ones

This week I started working on the penthouse mechanical room at the highrise building job.

Got the wall hung boilers mounted in place and started working on the main piping, I’ll post some more pictures as progress continues.

Busy day today working on heating mains threader was running all day
