Thanks for the update. It's amazing to me how much work and technical expertise go into this kind of project. You explained it well I'm excited to see it finished as well.
This is an AMAZING project from an engineering standpoint. Thanks for the update. Yesterday, as I drove down the road and saw the new Saratoga Springs Temple lit up against the night sky, I commented to my wife how I cannot wait for the Salt Lake City Temple open house. Having been in many of the rooms, including the Solemn Assembly Room, and have come to love the building. It's exciting to see this preservation effort.
Thank you so much for this update. I found your channel just this day and I sure hope that you will keep us updated, particularly those of us not from The United States of America but from the "nethermost part of the vineyard" ie. South Africa.
Thanks for the video and info. Slight correction recommended. Rather than more dense, I think it may be more accurate to consider the higher strength or in the industry lexicon, “high performance concrete”. Compressive strength around 8000 psi is pretty standard for high performance concrete. Some ultra high performance concrete is commercially available which has compressive strengths well above 10000 psi. Thanks again for the video.
The concrete measurements of 2,500 psi and 8,000 psi are not the density of the material but the measurement of the ultimate strength of the material to withstand shear forces (ie 2,500 or 8,000 pounds per square inch of the exposed surface).
How does that work with Temple constructions? Do the workers have to be LDS and Temple worthy or is that only if they have to go inside the Temple to reconstruct or is it just bid like a usualy construction job? I always wondered.
While a temple is under construction or re-construction (as is the case with the Salt Lake Temple) anyone may enter the temple with or without being a member or worthy of a temple recommend. It's the same principle with temple open houses, anyone can enter the temple during it's public open house prior to a temple dedication (whether of the faith or not). It is only after the temple is dedicated that one must be worthy and possess a recommend to enter. I'll attach a link with more information if you are interested on the topic www.churchofjesuschrist.org/temples?lang=eng
Over a billion I’m sure.. when the crown jewel of the church is being worked on, you can bet your butt that absolutely no expense was spared to ensure state of the art technology and engineering is going into the project.. the radiant heating alone would be a fortune for the entire temple grounds.. so with that I’d think at least two billion, maybe more.. city creek center next door to the temple grounds was what a 5 billion dollar investment next door, and that was back in late 2000’s during the financial mess.
The dude in the pipe with a shovel shoveling rock better be getting a comfy hourly wage, I would have a panic attack in that pipe holy crap, think there is what 180 Million pounds above your head between a 2 inch thick steel pipe…?? Yikes!

So glad to hear! It will be very exciting to see it finished!
I love this - thank you for the fantastic update! So much work is being done to get this right...

Awesome video. The visuals you use are great.

Well noted, thanks for the correction! Glad you liked the video

I was going to add this exact comment, thanks for posting it.
The 8,000 psi has nothing to do with the concrete density; instead it refers to the compressive strength
Groovy.

@@TheCovenantPath However, there is a behavior code that must followed on the property by the contractors
What is the very last thing to be done before it is finished? Specifically on the temple itself is it the roof or something else?
So, is the earthquake-proofing work completely done? or is there more to do?
Sounds like “reactor grade” concrete which contains large steel ball bearings.
I wonder the cost of this.

The miraculous spaces in the Temple that could have housed modern elevators will now contain the vertical support beams. 😊🙏🏽
