Metro Group... New Facility

Dan has had a really busy year at work... the planning has been in the works even longer than that. This is going to be the new Metro Group facility... Dan's "baby". He has done everything from day one. The planning...the meetings... working with the architects... dealing with the city and banks and permits... etc... you get the idea. It has been a labor of love. The walls are finally going up...

Here are some of the "grinding balls"... these are what they deliver everyday to Kennecott and out to the gold mines in Nevada.

Another view... And this is only about 1/4 of the building...

We joke that this is the "biggest crane in the world".... it is one of only 3 in the state of Utah big enough to lift the walls for this building! They have to lower it at night and on weekends because of the airport being so close!

Dan's office is on the top floor ...in the opposite corner of the one you can see in this picture.

This is an amazing process to watch... I came out one day during the day and got to watch them lift a section and put it in place...

This is the parking area...


I will post pictures through out the process... Can't wait until it is done!
