Pri Construction Update

Steel for PRI

These are the steel beams for PRI. The heaviest ones weigh 426 lbs per foot. These are the heaviest steel beams involved in the whole hospital project. Part of the reason our building requires heavier beams is because of its location on the southwest side of the entire structure. Our building will have to withstand more wind than the rest of the hospital.

 

Crane moving the steel

This shows the crane moving our steel. The steel for our building is so heavy that it approaches the limit of the crane.

 

First nine columns

These are the first 9 columns of steel for our building.

 

Man on Beam

Who wants to apply for this guy's job?

Elevator Shaft

This is the elevator shaft going up as high as L3 (that is construction code for the 3rd floor of our building).
