SIX MEN EASILY LIFT A GIANT COMPOSITE BEAM INTO PLACE
Day by day, minute by minute, the New Duval County Courthouse nears exterior completion. The two major events remaining is the installation of precast concrete roofing at the very top of the courthouse and the completion of the roof on the approximately three-story foyer standing just in front of the building.
Nearly all of the heavy glass windows have been installed which reflects the clear blue sky like a Microsoft Windows 3.1 startup screen.
If you have not see it, get downtown and bask in its glory.
Reinhardt caught this amazing photograph of men carrying the composite beam which will support the roof precast concrete. Not only is this beam heavy but you might notice the safety straps impeding the men’s movement.
