MAJOR UPDATE to the SALT LAKE Temple Renovation Project

Recently the Deseret News and KSL have reported that the "Salt Lake Temple renovation reaches 50% milestone" which is a BIG update to previous progress. The Church Newsroom of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also reported on March 23, 2023 that the completion date of the temple has been adjusted to 2026. I go over this and more news on the Salt Lake Temple in this most recent episode of Temple Updates and Progress

Thanks for the update. It's amazing to me how much work and technical expertise go into this kind of project. You explained it well I'm excited to see it finished as well.

[BobSmith]

I love this - thank you for the fantastic update! So much work is being done to get this right...

[DBrentWalton]

This is an AMAZING project from an engineering standpoint. Thanks for the update.

Yesterday, as I drove down the road and saw the new Saratoga Springs Temple lit up against the night sky, I commented to my wife how I cannot wait for the Salt Lake City Temple open house. Having been in many of the rooms, including the Solemn Assembly Room, and have come to love the building. It's exciting to see this preservation effort.

Thank you so much for this update. I found your channel just this day and I sure hope that you will keep us updated, particularly those of us not from The United States of America but from the "nethermost part of the vineyard" ie. South Africa.

Thanks for the video and info. Slight correction recommended. Rather than more dense, I think it may be more accurate to consider the higher strength or in the industry lexicon, “high performance concrete”. Compressive strength around 8000 psi is pretty standard for high performance concrete.

Some ultra high performance concrete is commercially available which has compressive strengths well above 10000 psi.

Thanks again for the video.

Awesome video. The visuals you use are great.

The concrete measurements of 2, 500 psi and 8, 000 psi are
not the density of the material but the measurement of the ultimate strength of the material to withstand shear forces (ie 2, 500 or 8, 000 pounds per square inch of the exposed surface).

[brucecampbell]

The 8, 000 psi has nothing to do with the concrete density; instead it refers to the compressive strength

[gordondahle]

Sounds like “reactor grade” concrete which contains large steel ball bearings.

How does that work with Temple constructions? Do the workers have to be LDS and Temple worthy or is that only if they have to go inside the Temple to reconstruct or is it just bid like a usualy construction job? I always wondered.

[Glen.Danielsen]

The miraculous spaces in the Temple that could have housed modern elevators will now contain the vertical support beams. 😊🙏🏽

[wabbet]

What is the very last thing to be done before it is finished? Specifically on the temple itself is it the roof or something else?

[tommytriplett]

So, is the earthquake-proofing work completely done? or is there more to do?

The dude in the pipe with a shovel shoveling rock better be getting a comfy hourly wage, I would have a panic attack in that pipe holy crap, think there is what 180
Million pounds above your head between a 2 inch thick steel pipe…?? Yikes!
