The first of many roof trusses has been placed at Farmer Music Center.
Each truss, measuring more than 200 feet in length, is assembled on the ground in sections before being hoisted into place and secured to the proscenium truss and E-line columns, with temporary shoring towers providing support between the connection points. Due to the immense weight of the steel, a crawler crane is used to lift each section into position.
Once a truss section is secured to its shoring tower and anchor points, temporary steel cables stabilize the structure until connecting trusses are installed. Together, these trusses will support the expansive roof spanning from the stage to the edge of the lawn.
