Construction Progressing




Construction of phase 1 of the FIH clinic is progressing under the supervision of Hal Seifert. Engineered to be earthquake resistant under the guidelines set forth by John Thomsen and Brian Twomey from the engineering firm Simpson, Gumpertz & Heger. As you can see there is a lot of rebar being used. It is also all tied together horizontally as seen in the first picture.

Today Hal emailed us, "Work is progressing very very swiftly. We will be close to forming the second floor by end of week or next, I think. Things will slow down a little around the doors... the blocks are up to and into the windows."
