Portland, Maine
Constructed in 1807
The Portland Observatory was built in 1807 by Captain Lemuel Moody to serve as a communication station for Portland Harbor. Portland Observatory was one of the earliest marine signal stations in the United States, and it is the last known to survive. The Observatory's location on Munjoy Hill gave it a clear view of vessels approaching Portland Harbor. The Observatory contributed to the prosperity of Portland Harbor as a vital center of maritime commerce during the "Golden Age of Sail."
The tower is unique in its engineering design and construction. The tapered, octagonal tower is 86 feet tall with a diameter of 32 feet at the base and 15 feet at the observation deck. Captain Moody employed shipwrights to build the tower and its wooden structural system and joinery reflect this maritime influence. The foundation is composed of a grid of large timbers with 122 tons of rubble stone ballast to provide overturning resistance to wind forces. Each octagonal corner is framed with a substantial post of native Maine white pine, reminiscent of ship's masts.
Beyond its original commercial function, Portland Observatory has also served as a watchtower during times of war, from the War of 1812 to World War II. The Observatory has undergone repairs and restorations in 1939, 1975, 1983 and 1985. The most recent renovation occurred in 1998-2000. The Observatory is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1972) and is a National Historic Landmark (2006). The Observatory was documented by the Historic American Building Survey in 1936 (HABS ME-1). As of 2007, the Observatory is operated as a museum and historic site by Greater Portland Landmarks.

The old road bridge was destoyed by the floods of November 2009. Now at last the new bridge is nearing completion: the final span was being carefully slotted in to place when we were there, Thursday 3rd May 2012.
Best Uniform goes to Team Design Coordinates Inc., presenting the award is Engr. Craig Burrell (Area Director, Hyder Consulting) with Animosibil President Engr. Jason Ongpeng

Trenholm State Community College is currently in the process of architecturally re-branding their Patterson Campus. Trenholm State Community College’s Automotive Collision Repair Program was moved from the Trenholm Campus to the Patterson Campus, and in doing so, will utilize an existing 18,727sf metal building/warehouse which was conducive for the collision repair area. Additional square footage was added to the building to encompass two classrooms, a resource room, offices, tool storage, and a paint shop. The paint shop consists of two new pre-fabricated paint booths, mixing station, and prep area A new façade was developed to enhance the overall appearance of the building. This building is the first of many to feature the new architectural style.
Trenholm State Community College’s Administration and Financial Aid Building project included a new metal retrofit roof and the renovation of an existing building that houses administration offices, financial aid and other student amenities as part of there “Student Success” center to allow for additional classrooms. The existing spaces were updated with new finishes and associated energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A new entrance and sitework were designed to give a good first impression to students and administrators entering campus.
Trenholm State Community College purchased state of the art prefabricated welding booths for their welding program. However, the buildings electrical system could not accommodate the loads for the booths. Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was hired to prepare the architecture and engineering drawings to allow the program to use their new welding stations.
Building B & Building D were renovations that include interior and exterior work, re-roofing, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, site work, exterior lighting, new streets, repairs and alterations to existing streets and parking lots, landscaping, and sidewalks.

This shot shows the Overhand Portion of the Falsework; namely the pre-assembled Support and Platform frame units that are crane handled into place onto the bridge, probably in lengths to suit the groups of central frames. This 'headbeam' assembly will match the length of the central 'goalpost units (a group of 'goalposts') assembly and is bolted onto the ends of the 'goalposts' to create, for each goalpost and 'headbeam', a Full Moment Connection.
