Replacement of a 320 square foot, steel framed platform supporting a water tank that has been a local landmark for over 100 years.
The existing platform members were severely deteriorated which necessitated the replacement. New galvanized steel members were installed in between the existing supporting elements and jacked into place, thus allowing the existing members to be removed while the water tank remained in place. The majority of the permanent beam connections utilize prefabricated steel clamps which greatly increased the speed of installation.
