A photo-a-day for A Hobbling A Day. Group theme for week of May 16: Anger.
When they built the new office building, they built this elevated walkway so that people would have a convenient way to get between the two buildings during the winter. They put a driveway under it so that trucks would have an easy route to the loading dock in the new building. Great care was taken to insure that there would be sufficent clearance.
I don't have a picture of the first semi that tried to go through there, but I'm told it made quite a site, stuck tight under the walkway. Yes, they had measured to insure that there was enough clearance, but the measurement had been taken on the south side of the road, which was several inches lower than the north side of the road. It was up, but not up enough.
I also don't have a picture of the chief contractor throwing his hard hat on the ground in a rage, jumping on it, and kicking it across the yard, but I'm told that was very instructive, as well.
All I have is a picture of the walkway after they lowered the level of the road by 18 inches and reinforced the foundations of the pylons.
