Overview
The new frame had to meet the old one without a single day of shutdown. We surveyed the existing gable, opened it one bay at a time behind temporary sheeting, and tied the new rafters in over three weekends.
Crane beams were set to a tight tolerance so the client's new overhead cranes ran true from the first test lift.
Finishes specified
