CEDAR CITY, Utah USA -- AeroTech is pleased to provide the following update on the status of its new production facility in Cedar City, Utah.
As of Friday, July 26th over 80% of the work has been completed, to include installation all interior walls, mezzanine decking and all other ceiling/roof structures. The shell of the propellant room is complete. Electrical system installation is well underway. Fire suppression and climate control equipment has been staged and is ready for installation. Interior and exterior door installation is over 60% complete should be finished by August 2nd. Work on exterior storage bunkers is moving towards completion.
Joe Burger, AeroTech Production Manager and a core group of experienced AeroTech production employees have moved to Cedar City to assist with installation of production equipment, which is expected to begin this week. Initial raw material requirements have also been staged and are ready for delivery.
Actual propellant production will commence as soon as Cedar City officials issue a certificate of occupancy which is expected in early to mid-August.
Scheduling of specific AeroTech products is now being finalized. AeroTech dealers will be advised, shortly before propellant production begins, of specific product availability and anticipated delivery dates.
As mentioned in earlier press releases, Bob Ellis will continue to assist with propellant production to help meet existing motor demand.
Photos, which are posted at the AeroTech web site http://www.aerotech-rocketry.com/, show details of the wall system and ceiling/ mezzanine concrete pours. This concrete wall/ceiling system will provide for excellent climate control characteristics during all phases of propellant and motor production.
