After purchasing all of the necessary materials, and getting some generous tool donations from our mentor Dr. Schwartz, the team set out to build our final test section. We will be building two test sections that we can do our heating tests on indoor in an indoor freezer. The wires will be laid on duraroc, a cement board, that will be covered in asphalt sealant. The duraroc will be placed on a sheet of plywood which will be attached to a wooden frame for stability. This should provide for fairly easy transport of our test section aside from the size of the system.
The team made good progress today on building the test section, which will be split into a 2x8 foot section and a 4x8 foot section. Both wood frames were built and she plywood and duraroc were attached as well. The copper buses have also been attached and the wire casing has been stripped at the points where the buses will need to be soldered to the nickel chromium wires.
Construction went very well today and I am pleased with the progress we made. I feel we are on schedule right now for completing the test sections sometime next week.
All that remains in our construction is to solder all of the wires in the system and lay down the sealant. Out team hopes to finish construction sometime next week at the latest so we can begin our testing in the large freezers at comcast center.

It is good construction work. Also they have to take care about health and safety during construction work. The Construction Skills Certification Scheme has been developed to provide a uniform qualification to workers in the construction sector.
