One of the last remaining roof steel beams being removed from Warehouse #1









After 2 days of working with a 15 ton crane, a 20 ton crane started work at the Moustanzeria Warehouses project today. Over 60 workers are on the project now, including the crane operators, the supervisors and the forklift crew. The roof of the first warehouse was removed in about a day and a half. The cranes are need to not only remove the structure, but also to suspend the torch workers in mid-air so they can cut the steel beams down. Tomorrow two 20 ton cranes will be at work to complete the removal of all three roofs of the salvagable warehouses. The remaining three warehouses (#4-6) will need to be razed and then rebuilt from the ground up. Meanwhile, the insides of the first three warehouses have been completely emptied and cleaned.
