Musk Construction

Elon Musk's Construction business is Quietly becoming one of his most successful business ventures.

It has started to pick up since the revolutionary designs of the factories and space launch facilities

The advent of the Tesla Giga factories that constructs batteries for his Power Wall products and also shortly the model 3 Tesla electric car has led to an explosion to his involvement in the Construction business, design and building of advanced factories designed completely on CAD to incorporate the latest in robotic and green innovations,  Elon's back to basics and physics fundamentals is inspiring the most complete overhaul of manufacturing techniques since Henry Ford's production line concepts for the model T Car.

To date his Construction business is based in the USA but with other Giga factories around the world also integrated with Tesla car production, these new massive buildings will be the largest buildings ever built and see his Construction business expand globally.

Current Construction projects (July 2016) :

• Boca Chica Beach Spaceport Texas

• Giga Factory 1 in Nevada 

• Cape Canaveral Launch and landing complexes Florida

• Vandenberg Launch and landing complexes California

• Expansion of SpaceX HQ in Hawthorne CA 

• Expansion of rocket Test Site at McGregor TX

• Hyperloop Test track CA

• Tesla charging stations (worldwide)

• building affordable housing at its Gigafactory in Nevada (2019)

• Las Vegas transport tunnel 

  • Boca Chica, South Texas Space Giga Factory (Starship mass production)

Integration with robots is designed in the similar way to the way silicon computer chips are designed.

'The Boring Company' is looking at making road tunnels, the first test tunnel is now under construction under SpaceX Hawthorne factory in LA, this is to test boring machines that are capable of boring tunnels 5 to 10 times faster than currently.

SpaceX is building an underground pedestrian tunnel across from its Crenshaw Boulevard headquarters for workers to safely cross the street to the parking garage. Musk said that, as they dig the tunnel, SpaceX engineers will try to work out how to improve tunneling efficiency.

Elon also hopes to connect this to the local airstrip which will require the city of Hawthorne to issue permits.

Elon Musk also looking into using tunnels for Hyperloop and also for trains as well.

More importantly for SpaceX's mission to eventually settle a colony on Mars, the boring machine technology could be used to test the viability of tunnel construction on the Red Planet, creating underground habitats that would protect people from extreme cold, low pressure, and high radiation.
