Big Boys Meccano
Today the steel fabricator, Des called me, his excitement level about his work is infectious and great to have the enthusiasm. Des and his team have been working flat out to get the structural steel fabricated. Today the majority was delivered on site now we have to bolt all this together. Des will have fabricated circa 17 tonnes of steel in order to build Moonlight, with about 3 tonnes of reinforcing steel. This building will contain close to 20 tonnes of steel.
So over to Charlie and his team now, bolting it all together, so over the next week a lot will happen, floor down, columns up for the roof structure and then the roof structure itself. I have always maintained that plumbing work is big boys meccano but these steel columns is the real stuff.
PS If you have been following this blog you may remember that I wrote in June about the negative impact a wet winter would have on the build programme. As you will have seen the project has been fortunate with number of fine days as the images have shown.
