The full story

Staff outlined a concept to reuse two existing shelters from the Ruby Vista yard, tie them together, and install a protective ice‑tray over the connected structure to prevent ice shedding from nearby towers that could damage roofs or equipment. "The thought is that we use those 2 existing shelters. We tie them together, and then we put large ice tray over the top of the building to protect it from ice shedding," the operations speaker said.
