The project has a standing style rule against em dashes that was missed
when these docs were written. This removes the 42 occurrences where the
substitution is mechanical and cannot change meaning:
- table cells using an em dash as a placeholder, now a hyphen
- em dashes immediately followed by a conjunction or subordinator
(but, and, or, so, though, while, which, where, because, since),
where a comma is simply correct
115 remain. Those join independent clauses, where a comma would create a
splice and a colon often reads wrong, so each needs a judgement call
rather than a pattern. A blanket regex over them was attempted and
reverted: it produced double colons and broken sentences.
Models the plot and everything on it in FreeCAD, and writes up the
decisions the modelling forced.
Parcel geometry is traced from the DOL LandsMaps cadastral polygon and
reconciled against that portal's own measured edge lengths (40.86 + 26.61
/ 166.81 / 42.48 + 14.94 / 152.46 m), which the trace reproduces to within
about 1% with 1.67 m of closure error over a 444 m perimeter. Note the
mapped extent comes out near 9,570 sqm against a deed area of 8,266 sqm,
a ~16% gap that needs a surveyor before any offer.
On the site: 60x25 m production building on a 10 degree monopitch, a
45x38 m phase-2 building, roof and carport PV, fire and raw water tanks,
a detached boiler/chiller utility yard, perimeter wall and gate, guard
house, roofed staff parking, and the loading and fire-access roads.
Docs:
- scale.md: expansion headroom for a second building, and the detached
utility yard, which frees ~126 sqm inside the main shed
- sustainability.md: roof orientation study (rotating the building for
solar gains under 1 point and costs 4 m of clearance, so it stays
aligned to the plot), and a new water supply section
- facility-security.md: fire water supply behind the existing
suppression design
Figures marked as estimates are planning-grade, not engineering
calculations; the PV module spec is a generic placeholder, and zoning for
factory use on this plot is still unverified.
Press cooling return (60 C) feeds heat pump into boiler feedwater; waste
heat runs label oven and HVAC dehumid reheat; solar thermal preheat;
steam accumulator; boiler does only the final lift. Heat pumps for the
final 180 C steam and ground-source in tropical Thailand both ruled out
with reasoning; northern Thailand LPG tank context documented
