Tesla Giga Berlin Roof May Complete Next Week

The construction speed at Tesla Giga Berlin is so astonishing that the roof of the Drive Unit of Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory may be completed by the end of next week.

"The construction of the Drive Unit building has progressed impressively. The north and south walls are almost entirely complete. Notable is the fact that the building is currently in the process of being roofed. Judging by the drone footage from @tobilindh / Twitter, approximately 1/5 of the building already has a roof, and if the same speed continues, the roof will be completed by the end of next week," writes Eva Fox of Tesmanian.

Eva also wrote that while Giga Shanghai was built in just 11 months, Tesla's factory in Berlin will almost certainly break that record. On August 14, Tesmanian reported on the rapid progress at the site. Yet, in just a few days since, the Giga Berlin construction team made another breakthrough.

"Now we see special attention being paid to the construction of the Press Shop and Casting. Tesla recently changed the construction plan for these buildings. Previously, both of them had to be built on solid piles that reach the groundwater table," writes Eva in her story.

Also, Tesla Giga Berlin will get by with significantly fewer concrete piles in the groundwater than previously planned. "Originally we believed that we would need up to 15,000 stakes, in the end, it was still 1100," said a Tesla spokesman on Friday evening on the occasion of the inauguration of "Tesla Street", which leads to the Tesla site. Now you have been able to change the concept so that you can get by with 500 to 550 piles. "Only the press shop, but no longer the foundry, is founded on piles."

The American company is responding to the concerns of environmentalists who fear negative consequences for nature and groundwater. Dispensing with concrete columns up to 14 meters in length, however, puts a strain on the construction budget in the millions - why exactly, Tesla did not say.

Tesla plans to roll off up to 500,000 vehicles a year in Grünheide in Brandenburg from July next year. The final environmental approval from the state of Brandenburg is still pending. Tesla is already building at its own risk, with early approval. The Brandenburg State Environment Agency recently gave the green light for the foundation and the shell construction with an early start.
