There is a tower of scaffolding under the corner of the steel skeleton that is being erected for the convention center expansion with wooden blocks to support the corner where the beams come together. It’s a precautionary measure to deal with a 30-foot cantilever.


There is a tower of scaffolding under the corner of the steel skeleton that is being erected for the convention center expansion, with wooden blocking to support the corner where the beams come together.
