Hyperloop One recently obtained building permits for a test track in North Las Vegas, and for a nearby site in which it will manufacture Hyperloop parts, called the Metalworks facility.
Test Track
Hyperloop One obtained three building permits for the test track located at 13575 Apex Power Parkway in North Las Vegas. The permits were obtained in January, March and June of 2016. Work on the track began in January and has a total estimated job value of $1.9 million to date.* The group in charge of the third party special inspections of the project is Southwest Electritech Services. The permits include:
- Construction of a 1′ 8” x 6′ x 1400m concrete slab high speed test track. ($300k)
- Installation of electrical system for the test track. ($961K)
- Construction of foundation for a new 75’ x 350’ tent structure (26,250 square foot). ($664K)
Metalworks Facility
The Metalworks facility is located at 4660 Berg St. in North Las Vegas.
Phase I
Permits for phase I of the project were obtained in June from the city of North Las Vegas’s Building Department. This phase includes two permits:
- The first is for a 230kw generator supplying a 480 volt current and associated electrical systems, as well as connections to multiple water jet machines. The water jets are used to cut metal.
- The second permit appears to be for constructing a barrier wall to block off the 106,478 square foot area used by Hyperloop One from the remainder of the 450,946 square foot building.
