Heat Advisory Today ☀️🔥
This morning one of my weather apps issued a heat advisory, and standing out here on a construction site, you can definitely feel it.
In this video, the crew is setting a girder into place while another welder is finishing connections on a previously installed section. Once these girders are in place, the next step will be setting the bar joists that help form the building’s roof structure.
What many people don’t realize is that construction doesn’t stop because it’s hot. Welders, ironworkers, operators, laborers, and other trades work through some pretty extreme conditions. Add welding, hot steel, safety gear, and direct sunlight, and it can make for a very long day.
It’s a good reminder to stay hydrated, look out for one another, and respect the men and women who keep these projects moving forward no matter what the weather is doing.
If you work outside, what was the hottest day you’ve ever worked through?
