All cells are now effectively complete. They are all insulated and lined and brickwork is finished. Final detailing is in progress with door trims, painting, and carpeting to come.
Monitoring equipment is now being prepared. Generally, sections of finishes are removable so that the sensors can be installed and tested, and replaced if necessary.
