Swing Space Activity - August 19, 2011




MC Dean, the School's electrical contractor, buries cable from the electric panel to two sub panels that will be mounted on the modular units. Once this connection is made the contractor will run power to lights, heating/air conditioning units, and plugs.

Looking towards M Street, SE the trailers are gradually filling the lot. One unit, at the end, is moving into place.

Jimmy Welsh, Master Movers' site supervisor, guides a modular unit into alignment. He guides the yellow Bobcat remotely using a set of many levers that he has fastened around his waist. Jimmy is so experienced in this maneuver that the unit quickly moves into position and then is raised to plum. Another machine raises the the other end of the unit into position. Other installers quickly bring in the ABS pads, cinder blocks, and shims to provide permanent support. The precision and synchronization that these skilled workmen bring to the task of assembling these units is amazing.
