T5 fixtures over prefabricated buildings production chain.
|
I was jobless since September 2011 (due to electrical school), but now I have my diploma and I got a first full time job in a prefabricated buildings company that's so close to me I wouldn't even need my car! This was the best angle I could get so I had the broadest view. I can try to get other views if requested LOL.
As a side note, the buildings being produced at the moment are tiny 1½ studio apartments. From what I've heard, these are being shipped to Alberta, probably being used to house bituminous sands workers. There are 4 rooms per module, and two modules will be facing each other to form a block of 8 rooms with a hallway in the middle.
Now back to the fixtures. These are a mix of 4-tube and 8-tube T5 fixtures that replaced 400W mercury high bays. Lights the shop pretty well, but at least a dozen of tubes are already out LOL.

BTW last Thursday while helping my foreman doing the electrical inventory I came across the plans of the project we're working on! It actually consists of an apartment complex with 3 floors of 8 blocks of 4 rooms, making a total of roughly 96 units!
The whole building being assembled by modules, they are identified with numbers, the first digit designating the floor the unit's going to be on (from 100 to 110, then 200 to 210, and finally 300 to 310). I am currently working on module 207 (the 1st one I worked on last week was 110!) and the base floor of unit n° 301 has been partially assembled this morning! If I'm not mistaken we're first assembling modules with rooms (x01 to x04, x07 to x10) since they're all the same, then we'll do staircases and common areas modules (x00, x05 and x06). It's a pretty interesting project overall!
