Some of the most noticeable progress on the building has been
the placement of the roof beams over the high-bay area. Here
two of the beams arrive at the site pulled by a semi truck.

This is the first beam being lifted in place. Notice the attached
safety line used by the steel workers.

As the beam nears it's final location, steel workers on either
side guide the beam in place.

This is one of the later beams being hoisted up toward the West
end of the building.

It's a tight fit and required a skilled crane operator to lift
beam without incident. |

Some minor coaxing of the beam and it is bolted in place.

Once the beams were placed, workers began to locate the trusses
that will support the roof.
