Work Continues on Preparing the Site
These vibrant snapshots capture the bustling transformation of the site as crews gear up to install the conduit, with meticulous prep work unfolding along the roadside. NH Electric is making its important moves. In an unprecedented twist, traffic was halted in downtown Jackson perhaps for the first time ever to make way for this exciting project!
Steel Beams Arrive!—First Week of June
This marks a dramatic transformation at the Town Hall! The structure has been triumphantly lifted off its foundation, with the mighty steel beam now proudly in place. Even the chimney has undergone a thrilling metamorphosis, boldly cut through and detached from its base, marking an audacious new chapter in the building's saga!
These stunning pictures capture an exciting leap forward in construction! The foundation is being expertly filled in, laying a rock-solid base, while massive steel beams are rolling onto the site with a dramatic flair. The jack control system is orchestrating a high-stakes ballet, deftly guiding the steel beam under the building as it’s delicately maneuvered into its perfect position!
Check out these awesome shots of Gary Sylvester in action, expertly tweaking the compressor to fine-tune the hydraulic jack. He’s getting that massive beam perfectly aligned beneath the building like a pro. The final picture? It’s a killer close-up of the jack snugly positioned right under the beams, ready for the big lift!
