Recent progress at the Uranium Processing Facility can be clearly seen now that the Mechanical Electrical Building is enclosed, structural steel is up at the Salvage and Accountability Building, and concrete placements continue for vertical walls at the Main Process Building.
The final topping slab has been placed for the Salvage and Accountability Building. This was the last topping slab placement for the Uranium Processing Facility project.

Skilled ironworkers position rebar for a wall curtain at the Main Process Building.
Now that the first vertical wall has been placed at the Main Process Building, additional forms are added on to the inside and outside of the rebar wall curtain to prepare for the next concrete placements.
Carpenters assemble wall formwork sections before lifting them into place at the Main Process Building.
The Mechanical Electrical Building is fully enclosed and stands tall as a sign of completion at the Uranium Processing Facility project. Interior work is now the focus moving forward.
60-foot-tall steel columns going up at the Salvage and Accountability Building are a visible sign of progress as we continue #BuildingUPF.
Construction begins for the 100,000 square-foot Offsite Fabrication Facility located at East Tennessee Technology Park. This facility will serve as the primary fabrication area during the construction of UPF.
