A motor control center will hold a power bus and motor controls. Typically an MCC is where you will house the breakers, disconnects, motor starters, and variable frequency drives for electric motors. Regarding heat: Heat will be generated by the controllers and other components within an MCC...

While interior building details on some buildings are exempt Florida's sunshine laws, site plans are not. Permit plans showing stormwater and wastewater improvements are generally easy to obtain. The biggest headache is that municipal employees generally already have enough work to do and...

Hey now, what is wrong with being a wastewater expert? What kind of work do you think the Mario Bros. family business did?

I like that you picked this article to share. Colleagues in my company's Tampa office did the chiller plant analysis for this project in 2015 and are currently under contract to provide construction inspection services for the plant and piping. So if anyone in the Universal C-suite is reading...

I'm not a mechanical engineer, so I don't have the knowledge to lay out all the facts. I know from my experience that once buildings get large enough that more than two standard residential-style compressors are necessary, HVAC designers will begin comparing whether a small chiller would be more...

That building in the middle of your red circle appears to be a chiller/central energy plant. I'm assuming that based on the cooling towers that are visible. This building would hold large chillers to cool water and large pumps to convey it around the park. The purpose of this chilled water is...

I'm just glad he's not using this $7 bottle of Fiji water!

I rode Kong yesterday and was told single riders line was not open. I'm not sure if this was just because the wait was 20 minutes or if it is a permanent thing. SpiderMan and The Hulk also had theirsingle rider lines closed when the wait time was listed at 10 minutes for both, so I'm thinking...

It seems that they have. I called several times this morning to renew and kept hearing the same two recordings: One saying that they are experiencing an abnormally high volume of calls and hold times are long, and the other saying to call back during normal business hours (even though I was...

I've seen several people post on Facebook this week that diners cannot order milkshakes as part of table service. They are saying that if you order a meal and then want to order a milkshake for dessert, your server will bring you the check for you meal and direct you to a separate counter...

Does anyone have any insights as to whether Universal is really attached to keeping three water rides at IOA? While I enjoy each of them, I don't ride any of them 80% or 90% of the time I visit. Walking around in wet clothes and soggy shoes makes for an unpleasant day. While I don't see Jurassic...

Not IOA, but how we foget the infamous Horror Make Up Show incident?

I'm assuming UC = Universal Creative, but I can't come up with what MW means. Regardless, this guy is employed by a consulting engineering company. The engineering consulting company has a contract as a subconsultant to the prime consultant (an architect) who has a contract with Universal...

I know an engineer who has been involved in several Universal projects, including Toothsomes. He told me that Universal hired an architecture firm as the prime on Toothsomes and his company was hired as a sub. Other projects have been contracted in different ways, but he says architect as prime...

No, you've got it all wrong. This is going to be a 4d Coca-Cola experience. The delay has been due to issues with getting the screens to sync with the soft drink dispensers. It's been a really sticky problem for Universal.

Where were they walking from? I'm not a doctor, but if they are complaining about the walk from anywhere within sight distance, maybe eating at a "chocolate emporium" isn't the best choice for them.

We can probably expect screens and 3D glasses.
