Celebrating a major milestone on one of our latest projects! We recently held a topping out ceremony after setting over 4,000 tons of steel. This tradition, rooted in Scandinavian culture, marks a significant milestone in construction. The ceremony highlights the moment when the last piece of steel or structure is put in place on a large-scale project. Dating back to around 700 A.D., the practice began with using trees to symbolize the occasion. 

Ironworkers are credited with giving this event its name, and the American flag often takes center stage, representing pride in the achievement. We're proud to continue this tradition, honoring both the history and our team's hard work and dedication to making this project a success.
