As mentioned, a lot of activity at the job site this week with the office mezz steel delivery as you can see by the included pictures. Here's one where Mike Mangan and Bob Hunt are standing by a rather large beam that will be used to clear span the Summit training room - it gives you a good perspective of how large some of these beams are. (Mike was smiling because he just told Bob to try and move the beam) Steel began to arrive Monday of this week and by Wednesday 6.17.09, we saw it all staged. About 10% of the steel was already erected and crews were busy bolting them together. The area below is in the Purchasing/Marketing area. (No Paul, you can't move in yet!) There are steel beams everywhere you look. Keith Budurka commented that "it is amazing they know which ones go where" because when you look closely, beams have several unique designs depending on where they are going. But each beam has a number and bar code on it and it is as simple as matching them up to the print and dropping them where they are shown. You can see one of these labels at the end of the front beam.
The coordination team also discussed some open items we have in the showroom and with the warehouse mezz system (a whole separate 3-story system) and cafeteria kitchen. Mark Hasaka is working on some changes to the showroom including the area where we will show off our line of digital x-rays and the audio/visual for the training area and boardroom. Keith and Mike continue to review the final electrical drawings and office lighting zones right down to the location of the switches. Sue Evans has been working with a company called ILS to get the cut sheets for our reception area desk and kitchenette located near the training room and along with Deb Hammaker, checking out some regs for the x-ray area. Scott Smith has been reviewing the data requirements for the showroom area and just finished up on his prints. We are really getting into the finer details now.
Mike also met with the Warehouse and TIS team this week as we continue to test and refine the logic behind our "pick-to-tote" system and coordinating how totes will be routed through about 2 miles of conveyor. Again, there is a lot going on simultaneously including Don Stephens wrapping up the capital approval.
Here are some additional progress pictures:
