The Plum Brook facility is 100' in diameter and 122' tall. I'll just jackhammer out the 8' of concrete and use a plasma torch on the aluminum skin of the roof. Now, add a 40-foot aluminum dormer, weld in a new skin over the removed roof, pour some fresh concrete, let dry for 96 hours and pop that sucker right in. Job could be done in just a few weeks and come in at under $100K. Not much harder than putting in a new bathroom without the horrors of choosing the right wallpaper. Sometimes even rocket science isn't rocket science. -- -John Steinberg email: lid You forgot the probable need for increased pumping capacity needed to handle the larger internal volume. Rocket science isn't always rocket science, but it often is actual science. Before you respond, please show you've done the math. |
