Supercharger - Reno, NV - 4001 S Virginia St (Under Construction, 16 stalls)

Got a break in the weather about the time errands took me somewhat close, so stopped by.
Looking West
Concrete poured for V3 cabinets and switchgear
Transformer pad set in place.

Looking South, some details:
The switchgear has a pre-cast pad that the concrete has been poured around.
Pull Twine has been run to pedestals from V3 cabinets.
Concrete has some kind of curing coat on it, likely for the cold weather, but the forms have been stripped already, so it was poured on a previous day.

Wednesday afternoon update: V3 power electronics and switchgear cabinets are mounted.
Site cleaned up some, 16th pedestal still not mounted. Getting close to the wait for the transformer.

Looking North East, toward the Atlantis casino.
4th V3 cabinet peeking out from behind the others, switchgear cabinet hidden.
Will be an easy walk to the Atlantis.

Looking West
Looks like about to pave around transformer pad (note roller off to left). And will have to put up bollards to meet building code and NV Energy requirements. Then NV Energy will install the transformer - when they get a transformer...

Looking South from Western end of row of pedestals.
Lonely last pedestal mount waiting for a charging pedestal and wire.
Was the pedestal damaged in shipping, or were they busy doing other stuff?
Lots of left-over flex conduit in the background.

Passed by just after 11am Thursday, one crew was loading up the pavement roller and another pulling the DC wiring to the pedestals using the forklift to pull on the pull rope.

Thursday April 18th just after 11am, drive by, saw a worker with V3 electronics cabinets doors open, working on the DC (red and black) wiring at cabinet end. Pedestals were closed up, so apparently they are already wired. Didn't manage to spot any spools of brown/orange/yellow/gray wires (the 277/480 volt AC wire from switchgear to V3 cabinets) while driving, so that status is unknown.
