The shop has been quiet for the last weeks as I recovered from my surgery. That ends bright and early tomorrow as we begin production on a brand new project - the second phase of the entry facade of NEB’s Fun World in Oshawa, Ontario. Last year, we prefabricated the twenty sections of the large front wall of the facade. It measured fifty-three feet wide when it was assembled onsite. This west side of the wall will measure about forty feet wide and almost thirty feet tall at its highest when it is assembled next year. We will build the wall in twelve sections. As with the previous phase, we will begin the project by welding up the structural steel frames and then the pencil rod armatures. Diamond lath will follow, followed by the sculpting process in the New Year. It is going to be a fun project! Stay tuned…
Pumped!!
Many of our projects are shipped off without us ever seeing them fully assembled. Most of our clients are thousands of miles distant and a trip to take pictures of the finished pieces isn’t possible. Thankfully, our clients send us good pictures which we appreciate. This past week we received a batch of wonderful pictures of the giant pump that was installed at Clovermead Adventure Farm in Aylmer, Ontario. The Clovermead crew did a great job installing this monster of a piece and the pump looks fabulous in it’s permanent setting!
Pumped!
The flatbed truck that was to transport the world’s largest hand pump to Clovermead Adventure Farm in Aylmer, Ontario arrived three hours early but we had everything ready and waiting. The loading of the three pieces went smoothly and it wasn’t long until everything was tied down and secure. That’s the last we’ll see of our giant creation until our next visit to the farm. I can hardly wait to see it fully assembled!
