This week crews installed 8 large hvac units on the 2 mechanical roof areas of giga bay. On Monday the first 4 were installed, followed by the other 4 this morning. Our friends at @RGVaerialphotos got a great shot of these areas from above in their flyover yesterday, which you can see over on their page.
