which also is the most difficult,
Bergeman noted He said that
the closures must meet high
tolerance requirements

and couplers used in fastening
the tubes together so the mutual
bond must be exact
To build the arch, plates are
welded together in the down-flat
position and then picked up by
crane and draped over a tem-
porary erection frame.
Horseshoe-shaped stiffeners
are put on and then circular stif-
fener plates are applied.
After this is done, the arch is
lifted off the frame and set
down where the studs are weld-
ed on.
Bergeman said the project
takes 150,000 studs which are
shot in with a special welding
gun. The studs hold the rebar
(reinforcing steel) in position.
In assembling the com-
ponents, special marks cor-
responding to positions on a
