Update
Baker Hughes is building three "SuperSites": in Williston, Dickinson, and Minot. The selection of Minot is very, very interesting, a subject for a later date. Here's an artist's rendition of the site at Minot (remember: click on photo to open in another window where you can zoom in):

It appears that the office building as depicted in the artist's rendition is not started. I think only the industrial / garage portion of the building is pictured above. I don't know if you can see it, but just to the right of the steel structure is a huge cement slab; that's where the office building could go. On the other hand, the artist's drawing suggests the office building will sit in front of the steel structure. Either way, it appears this should be the biggest building in the Williston area.
They have so much concrete and foundation footings poured all over the place, I'm guessing there are multiple buildings in the works for this complex Baker Hughes is building
ReplyDeleteI was out there yesterday (Sunday) and I was amazed how much cement was there (not including the cement under the steel frame). There is enough cement there for WWI airplanes and small personal planes to use as a landing strip. I am not kidding. This cement not under the steel frame will be the "foundation" for the office building.
ReplyDeleteThis structure will be huge. It would be interesting to know how much cement was used, and then compare it to something we can relate to, say, the Hoover Dam.
Thank you for taking time to comment. (Oh, by the way, in addition to the cement noted above, there are two more cement pads on the far end of the steel structure, also.
