September 27, 2024Sep 27 Got the drone up in the air yesterday to see the progress on assembling the massive LR 12500 at Intel Ohio One. And I counted 92 precast concrete floor tiles are now aloft. In the staging yard, there appear to be several hundred more to be hoisted.
October 15, 2024Oct 15 New Albany provides update on Intel "Though New Albany has a slew of notable projects, its most prominent is Intel Corp.'s $28 billion semiconductor manufacturing campus. The project started construction in July 2022 and is expected to be completed between 2026 and 2027. The plants are slated to become operational between 2027 and 2028. There are 2,300 construction workers and 29 cranes currently on site, according to the city. Chrysler said the city has completed about 75% of infrastructure work for Intel, which includes new and widened roads as well as new water and sewer lines. A convoy of "super loads" traveled along new roads constructed for Intel this summer. Those loads included a 384,000-pound air separation unit, which will join three other units Intel will use for the two factories. "We're seeing so much activity," Chrysler said. "We're really excited about the progress we're making there and the partnership we have with Intel." Intel suppliers also are starting to establish a presence in New Albany. That includes DSV, a Danish transportation and logistics company that began construction on its 1.2 million-square-foot facility in October 2023. Chrysler said DSV will begin operating at the site in early 2025." https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2024/10/14/new-albany-ohio-economic-development-projects.html
October 20, 2024Oct 20 After two weeks of conflicting weather and work, I was able to get the drone up over Intel Ohio One on Saturday, October 19th. Hope you enjoy the update! The Liebherr LR12500, the largest crane on site, is now fully assembled Progress on utilities infrastructure both the power substation and water tower Caught the pick of one of the precast concrete floor tiles being lifted into place Spotted crawler tracks for yet another giant crane (Demag CC8800) to be assembled
October 26, 2024Oct 26 As walls rise at Intel's New Albany site, massive crane arrives with a new name "There are nearly 30 cranes working on Intel's $28 billion project in Licking County. None is bigger than a recent arrival, and it's sporting a new name: Ms. Armstrong. The crane, a Liebherr LR12500, is one of the biggest in the world. It will pick up the trusses from an assembly yard and put them in place on the top of the two factories Intel is building. The crane is powerful, capable of lifting up to 5.5 million pounds, and is taller than two Statues of Liberty... To date, the project has logged 5 million hours of labor, Evers said. Already, enough concrete has been poured to build four Ohio Stadiums, he said. A significant milestone has been reached in the construction in that walls and floors are starting to going in after focusing on what Evers called, "The two biggest basements in Ohio." Construction workers from 75 of Ohio's 88 counties have worked at the site, and thousands more construction workers will be coming in the future, he said." https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/energy-resource/2024/10/26/johnstown-students-pick-name-ms-armstrong-for-massive-new-intel-crane/75810571007/ Edited October 26, 2024Oct 26 by Luvcbus

October 28, 2024Oct 28 Construction goes vertical at Intel's $28B Ohio One site "Two years after Intel Corp. broke ground at its New Albany semiconductor manufacturing campus, construction has finally risen above ground. The California chipmaker uploaded new photos and aerial video of the $28 billion Ohio One project on Thursday, announcing construction had hit the milestone of "going vertical." "We're seeing so much activity," New Albany Community Development Director Jen Chrysler recently told Columbus Business First for an update on several ongoing projects. "We're really excited about the progress we're making there and the partnership we have with Intel." There are 2,300 construction workers and 29 cranes currently on site, according to the city. Bechtel Corp. and Gilbane Building Co. are leading construction. The largest crane on site, the second-largest model made by Liebherr, can lift 5.5 million pounds and is twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty, according to Intel. On Friday, the crane was christened "Ms. Armstrong" by fourth- and fifth-graders at Johnstown Intermediate Middle School. The 1,000-acre Intel site is within the district and Intel has partnered on several STEM education initiatives." https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2024/10/28/intel-new-albany-construction-above-grade.html

November 25, 2024Nov 25 Intel and Commerce Department close to finalizing roughly $8 billion CHIPS Act grant "Chipmaker Intel and the CHIPS and Science Act office are close to finalizing a deal which would award the company a roughly $8 billion grant, according to a person familiar with the matter, as the Biden administration moves to dole out funds before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. That $8 billion will go toward Intel’s factory-building efforts, the person said. The Commerce Department is expected to finalize the award in the coming weeks, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic information. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had previously said he might look to repeal the bipartisan legislation, but he then walked back those comments. The Biden administration and grant awardees have touted the legislation as a job-creating machine." https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/25/intel-close-to-8-billion-chips-act-grant-source.html
November 26, 2024Nov 26 Intel's Chips Act payout down $600M from initial deal; Ohio One project lands $1.5 billion "More than two years after President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS Act into law, federal dollars are headed to Ohio, where they'll support Intel's new chip plants in New Albany. The Biden Administration on Tuesday released $7.865 billion in funding for Intel as part of its CHIPS Incentives Program. The New Albany project will receive $1.5 billion in direct funding, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. "The work to build the Silicon Heartland now moves forward with even more certainty, advancing our economic and national security to the benefit of the working people of Ohio and America." Tuesday's announcement came a day after The New York Times first reported that the U.S. government planned to reduce Intel's $8.5 billion grant to less than $8 billion, citing a $3 billion contract Intel had been offered to make chips for the Pentagon. Ohio Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Steve Stivers praised the release of CHIPS funding Tuesday, declaring it a "great day to be a Buckeye." Stivers thanked the Biden administration and said making microchips in the U.S. will help strengthen the nation's national security." https://www.newarkadvocate.com/story/business/2024/11/26/intel-awarded-nearly-8-billion-in-chips-act-funding-for-semiconductor-manufacture-licking-county/76585138007/ Edited November 26, 2024Nov 26 by Luvcbus
November 27, 2024Nov 27 Wiggle room in Intel's timeline doesn't dim Central Ohio celebration of Chips grant Intel Corp. again reaffirmed its commitment to building two semiconductor fabrication plants in New Albany – and Central Ohio business leaders are unfazed by the apparent wiggle room in the company's Chips Act grant agreement on when the fabs open. Elected and business leaders celebrated the finalization Tuesday of the chipmaker's nearly $7.9 billion grant from the Chips and Science Act to offset more than $100 billion in construction and equipment in four states. ... The Ohio portion of the grant is $1.5 billion toward the $28 billion first two fabs, in a complex expected to grow. However, the U.S. Department of Commerce is applying the grant to reward 1,500 of the pledged 3,000 manufacturing jobs, according to a fact sheet. Market demand will determine when the facilities open – "by the end of the decade," a senior agency official said in a webinar with reporters – so it is possible one might open past the law's 2030 deadline.

December 4, 2024Dec 4 Intel Grants Finalized, Supporting Central Ohio Project Computer chip manufacturer Intel has faced setbacks with its “Silicon Heartland” fab currently under construction outside New Albany, Ohio. But after protracted negotiations, $7.8 billion in federal grants are beginning to flow to Intel projects around the country. The Ohio fab is in line for up to $1.5 billion of that total. The 2022 CHIPS Act earmarked more than $52 billion dollars in support of critical industries like semiconductor manufacturing. The legislation is one of three pieces of industrial policy central to the Biden administration’s vision of its legacy. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo argued the legislation “is spurring a renaissance in manufacturing and securing our supply chain so our economy doesn’t come to a standstill because of supply chain disruptions again. And this law is protecting our national security and our economic security by enabling America to once again become a leader in semiconductor production.” More below: https://columbusunderground.com/intel-grants-finalized-supporting-central-ohio-project-ocj1/ "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

December 28, 2024Dec 28 Here’s what traveled through Ohio via super loads this year "This was the year of the super load... Initially announced as just under two dozen super loads, 2024 ended up seeing 32 of the massive transports, starting in March and continuing through December. In total, more than 11 million pounds of goods were transported. Each super load began its journey into Ohio the same way, unloading from a barge along the Ohio River in Adams County and traveling around Columbus and into Licking County. Four of the first five super loads diverged from the pack, carting shipments to Freepoint Eco-Systems recycling facility near Hebron. The rest moved to New Albany to help build Ohio’s “Silicon Heartland” from the ground up. Although all of the super loads were — true to their name — enormous transports, four stood out as “extra-large” super loads, beginning their journeys June 25, July 8, July 24 and Aug. 13, respectively. These carried air processors known as cold boxes, which are used in Intel’s silicon chip manufacturing process. The sheer size of the cold boxes led to massive transports, tipping the scales around 916,000 pounds a piece. Other shipments included other various air processors, tanks, absorbers and receivers, which are all used in semiconductor manufacturing. The more recent transports have been smaller and therefore less disruptive to traffic. The last super load began its journey Dec. 10 and arrived at New Albany on Dec. 15. It carried machinery called a warm gas pipe skid, crossed through eight Ohio counties and weighed 469,284 pounds." https://www.nbc4i.com/intel-in-ohio/heres-what-traveled-through-ohio-via-super-loads-this-year/
