Are we to assume from this the first phase of fab construction is being pushed back from 2025 to 2027?  If true, that sense of urgency conveyed at the Newark press conference has slowed down.

It still says in the article that they should be operational in 2025 but Phase 1 should be completed entirely by 2027. There is apparently a Phase 1a and a 1b and getting the thing up and running in part of 1a intended to be completed in 2025 with 1b completed by 2027 which would wrap up Phase 1.

I have 0 faith Intel will even be around as a company by the time these are done. Their leadership is a disaster.

Hey look, a former Crew sideline reporter and current PA announcer. 

I came up to Columbus to visit family from Charlotte this past Christmas and you can see the strides they've made on the roads around the project. With all of those cranes sitting there you would have thought to see more evidence of fab construction..

Underground work continues.

 

Another round of concrete was poured for the foundation on January 3rd.

 

Once the foundation is in place, walls for the first two fabs will start to go up.

 

Intel's New Albany, Ohio plant: Everything you need to know

 

It's been two years since Intel Corp. announced a massive semiconductor manufacturing campus in Central Ohio — the largest single private sector investment in the state's history.

...

When will Intel's Ohio plant open?

 

The first two Intel factories are slated to open in 2025, though a more specific date has yet to be announced.

 

Early construction work including prepping the site for utility connections began in July 2022, and a groundbreaking ceremony featuring President Joe Biden was held in September of that year.

 

Intel’s first year mostly focused on site preparation, from leveling land to digging utility trenches. Excavators moved 1.7 million cubic yards of earth, aggregate, lime and other material.

 

The complex started to take shape when workers began pouring concrete in May. The first foundation pour, spanning 2.5 million square feet, followed several months of underground utility work.

 

Jim Evers, Intel Ohio general manager, previously said that vertical construction is likely to begin sometime this year.

There's a pretty interesting article in the Groveport Messenger today about massive pieces of equipment that will be traveling through the southeast and eastern portions of the metro area to the Intel site. 

 

https://www.columbusmessenger.com/giants-are-coming.html

 

Special trucks, ranging from 200 to 250 feet long, will transport mammoth, very heavy pieces of equipment weighing several tons and towering up from 16 to 20 feet tall, from the Rickenbacker Airport area to the new, $20 billion Intel semiconductor chip factory complex in Licking County. There will be a total of 18 hauls in two week intervals over a 36 week period.

 

The humongous equipment cannot be transported on freeways because it will not fit under overpasses, so local roads must be used. The equipment will be trucked from Manchester on the Ohio River and through Central Ohio to Licking County.

Wow:

"Utility lines will also have to be moved and some trees trimmed in places along the journey so the gigantic equipment can pass by."

"Groveport City officials are concerned about traffic and utility disruption caused by the shipments as well as potential damage to the road beds due to the crushing weight of the equipment being hauled."

 

U.S. to announce big grants for domestic chip plants in March, speeding up plans for Intel and TSMC

What do all of you think about Samsung Electronics and TSMC getting American tax dollars to compete against American companies?

It is in America's national security interest for the chips used in all of our computers and smartphones to be made in the US, whether the fabs are owned by American, Korean, or Taiwanese companies.

Leadership wars so to speak. Out of the big 3 companies, Intel has consistently had a “fight for the top” mentality as they change out their subpar CEOs every few years. Their technology is also 2-3 years behind other chips and often times runs hot because of that. Overall, inferior company with a ton of internal issues. Until they figure out there isn’t an I in team I have 0 faith in them. I’m a firm believer all the federal money to them was a bailout - things weren’t looking great for them before that was announced. But its only a band-aid…

On the flip side, Intel has successfully been doing exactly what they plan to do here in Ohio in other locations around the US since the 1980s. Almost 50 years of success is nothing to scoff at. I have no inclinations that building out the same type of facilities on a bigger scale with the most current technologies is going to be tough for them to handle or anything.

Oversized equipment for Intel’s Ohio One will soon move through area, shut down roads

 

"Intel will be transporting large pieces of equipment across Ohio roadways beginning in February. To accommodate the move, the Franklin County Engineer’s Office has issued a special hauling permit for “overweight and oversized loads” for portions of Rickenbacker Parkway and Bixby Road between State Route 317 and U.S. 33.

 

The oversized loads traveling through Ohio will be moved on trailers of up to 200 feet, if not larger, according to police in Groveport, which is near the intersection of U.S. 33 and State Route 317. The police department said there will be 18 loads moved from Manchester — on the Ohio River in Adams County east of Cincinnati — to New Albany.

 

The first load is scheduled to go through Franklin County on Feb. 10 and 11. But the schedule could be subject to change based on weather and other factors.

 

Message boards will be placed along the Hamilton Road portion of the route in the days leading up to the shipment. The traveling public will be alerted to the possible traffic delays five days prior to the shipment’s arrival. The transportation of this equipment is expected to take nine months."

I'm guessing they are using the decommissioned J.M Stuart power plant site just west of Manchester as a staging area to unload barges on the Ohio River. They'll have to set up cranes to unload barges and load semis. My recollection is that they are transporting the lithography machines that print chips.

 

Not real surprising since delays are to be expected...  Intel is pushing back the expected production date for the Ohio fabs until 2026:

 

"Intel had previously hoped to begin production at the plant in 2025, though now the site is unlikely to be ready until late 2026, the newspaper reported. A slow rollout of money from the Chips and Science Act — legislation passed in 2022 to revitalize the US chipmaker industry — has contributed to the delays.

 

Intel declined to comment on the project’s exact timeline but said it remains committed to the effort. It’s still moving forward and the company has made significant progress, Intel said."

Intel pushes back timeline on Ohio plants; affirms commitment to $20 billion project

 

Intel Corp. is pushing back its timetable to complete the $20 billion semiconductor plant complex it's building in New Albany, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

 

The newspaper, citing "people involved in the project," said Intel was now projecting a completion for the two fabs in late 2026, about a year behind the original timetable.

 

The newspaper said market conditions and the slow distribution of grants from the Chips and Science Act were the main drivers of the decision to delay the project.

 

An Intel spokeswoman confirmed to Columbus Business First that the company "will not meet the aggressive 2025 production goal that we anticipated," but said "we have not made any recent changes to our pace of construction or anticipated timelines."

 

"We remain fully committed to the project and are continuing to make progress on the construction of the factory and supporting facilities this year," she said. "As we said in our January 2022 site-selection announcement, the scope and pace of Intel’s expansion in Ohio may depend on various conditions."

I’ve said it once, and I will say it again. Labor and materials. Plus the general contractor Bechtel has been a complete donkey to a ton of people in central Ohio.

 

(From Intel's most recent newsletter)

 

Some Ohio One Construction Milestones:

 

"Since we began construction on the Ohio One campus, crews have worked more than 1.6 million hours without a lost time incident, have poured more than 32,000 cubic yards of concrete and installed 210,000 linear feet of underground conduit (equivalent to just over 700 football fields). 

 

 We’re building the Ohio One campus from the ground up, starting with the underground utility level. Electrical panels that support the fab are located here, along with the “mains” — large utility pipes and ductwork that feed up to the lateral pipes in the clean subfab. Also here are chiller and compressor systems. Once the campus is open, the workers who monitor the equipment on this level won’t wear bunny suits. Instead, they will wear street clothes, hard hats, and safety glasses.

 

Intel Fabs have four levels – the interstitial and fan deck, the clean room level, the clean sub fab level and the utility level – each with its own unique functions to bring semiconductors to life."

Intel Opening Date Pushed Back

 

The first Intel facility in New Albany will not come online in 2025, the year the company had initially set as a goal when the $20 billion project was first announced in 2022.

 

An Intel spokesperson provided the following statement to Columbus Underground:

Quote

 

“While we will not meet the aggressive 2025 production goal that we anticipated when we first announced the selection of Ohio in January, 2022, construction has been underway since breaking ground in late 2022 and we have not made any recent changes to our pace of construction or anticipated timelines. 

 

We’re proud to be building in the Silicon Heartland! We remain fully committed to the project and are continuing to make progress on the construction of the factory and supporting facilities this year. As we said in our January 2022 site-selection announcement, the scope and pace of Intel’s expansion in Ohio may depend on various conditions.

 

We broke ground on Ohio One ahead of schedule and we are maintaining construction progress. Typical construction timelines for semiconductor manufacturing facilities are 3-5 years from groundbreaking, depending on a range of factors.”

A little more on the expected route the massive equipment will take to Intel...

 

What you need to know before massive equipment for Intel travels through Central Ohio

 

"Starting this month, trailers as long as 200 feet in length will strategically travel from the Ohio River in the Cincinnati area to Intel's $20 billion semiconductor facility site.

 

According to the Franklin County Engineers Office, the first load is scheduled to be transported through Franklin County on February 17-18. The schedule is subject to change based on weather conditions, large events, and utility coordination along the route.

 

Groveport Police Chief Casey Adams said his team has been preparing for months to accommodate these oversized loads coming through their city.

 

"I knew Intel was going to effect all of Central Ohio, including us in Groveport," Adams said. "But we never expected it to go to this extent where you are going to see multiple loads taking almost a year to make it from the Ohio River to New Albany."

 

Below is the likely route the trailers will travel

•Starts on Alum Creek Drive (near Rickenbacker Airport)

•Right onto Rohr Road

•Left of Opus Drive

•Right onto Green Pointe Drive South

•Right onto Saltzgaber Road

•Left onto State Route 317

•Right onto Hamilton Road

•Left onto Bixby Road and parks on Old Bixby for the evening

 

That route is only about six miles long, but Adams said he anticipates it taking several hours. "They are saying 10-15 mph ranges is about as fast as they will go," Adams said. "We are anticipating somewhere between 18-20 loads that will go through our area through the rest of the year."

He's not there yet - not in the pics I've seen. I'd say that's one of the first superloads - they're using it to unload the others.

Shipping of ‘oversized’ Intel equipment loads pushed back a couple weeks

 

"Intel’s transportation of giant equipment across Ohio roads has been delayed from its original start date this weekend.

 

In late January, the plans to move “overweight and oversized loads” needed for Intel’s semiconductor plant under construction in New Albany were revealed. Originally expected to go through Franklin County as soon as Saturday, the project has been pushed back.

 

The Franklin County Engineer’s Office said it now expects the move to begin no earlier than Feb. 17. Police in Groveport, along the projected route, said it may be late February or early March.

 

Weather is to blame for part of the delay, according to Groveport police. A dock in Manchester, east of Cincinnati in Adams County on the Ohio River and where the equipment will be offloaded from barges, has been underwater."
