Can you say 'braced bay'? As the steel continues to go up, braced bays (inverted 'V's) are some of the prominent features of the steel design that stand out in the landscape of the back yard at PCC. These bays are structural features that keep the structure from twisting around under stress. Clear but cold weather persists so I sit in my office looking out at the workers and give thanks for a heated office. Did I say clear weather? The weather looks good for the next 10 days or so which should enable us to get the concrete slab in sometime soon. A lot of work is going on regarding the heating & cooling system for the new building. I spent Monday morning cleaning out our existing mechanical room so that they could start work in there. Now two huge pumps and some other bits are occupying the floor space and a new boiler is on the way. The new cooling tower has been delivered and sits at one end of the building waiting until we can get a concrete slab poured for it to sit on next to the existing cooling tower.
