The first phase of a project is to design and weld up the structural frames. The large entry wall project at NEB’s needs to be more precise than most of our projects because the thirty-five pieces have to fit together without unsightly gaps and they have to fit into an existing space. As we fabricate these structural frames we need to be mindful of how they will be fastened into place and how we will safely transport and lift them in perfect balance. Each section needs to be rigid and light but still strong enough to carry thousands of pounds of sculpted concrete. Kieth and Neil worked hard this week to finish the first piece. On Monday we move on to the second frame. Stay tuned…
