Steel Going Up
by Lionel Bascom — November 20th, 2006 — 1 comment
The first steel columns crafted to go up at the construction site of the Freedom Tower by mid December are being readied to be shipped to New York.
The steel is being fabricated in Lynchburg, Virginia by Banker Steel. They are making 14 columns to be used in the foundation of the new tower. The fabricator is building 14 columns. They are made by welding steel plates together. The columns are being taken to Lynchburg’s City Stadium to allow people to write messages on the beams on December 8 and 9 before they are shipped to New York City. The beams will be dedicated on December 10 by New York Gov. George Pataki and Virginia Gov. Tim Kane with bottles of champagne.
