Greetings Residents and Visitors to Greenfield,

The project has left the horizontal and begun the vertical. March will see a huge transformation at the project site of your new library.

In the last newsletter, we talked about the foundation being completed and the leveling plates for the future superstructure being install. Your Library Building Committee and associated professionals appear to have completed that task very well as the pieces are all fitting like a glove.

Below is an exciting video showing the first column being installed!
We expect the beams and columns (which are Wide Flange Shapes and Tube Steel) to be completely installed by mid-March. The ironworkers will then plumb (laymen’s terms - straighten) the structure and add the decking for the second floor and roof. This will take until the end of March, weather permitting.

Meanwhile the underground plumbing and electric utilities are complete – another major milestone on the journey to a new library. The new parking lot will be worked on over the next few months. A new retaining wall will separate our parking lot with adjacent properties. That work will begin late March.

Exciting times at your new library. Remember it will look unorganized and unfamiliar until the final touches on the exterior are completed.
Q&A 
What is a TC Bolt?         
The building parts are bolted together with "Tension Control" bolts or, TC Bolts. The ironworkers of the past had to measure "torque tension" in each bolt. Today's workers have TC Bolts that shed the excess of the bolt when the torque is correct.
