Construction "Steels" the Show

The new addition makes headway as the structural steel goes up! The structural steel is the skeleton of the building that sits upon the footings in the ground. First, the columns or vertical beams are set to make up the frame, and then the horizontal beams are set in place to complete the framing. In addition, cables are attached to the frame so that the building is set straight up and down and the beams are square to one another. Once the beams are set and bolted, the metal decking is installed to form the floor and roof of our soon to be gym and classrooms.
