Today we finished installing the grade beam cages around both moment frame bases.
CAGE AROUND C-1 & C-2
CAGE AROUND C-3 & C-4
All moment frames are in place. It went up very fast, thanks to very careful preparation work between Joe Barnett from Banks Welding Shop & myself. I we were off it was only 1/16"; WOW! This crew is great to work with; Doug Banks was personally on site erecting all the steel with his crew (Bing and Little B) and Mike from Shamrock (the crane operator).
