CITADEL CONSTRUCTION IN ACTION

My son-in-law, Alejandro is project manager for

CITADEL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

in Wando, SC. I went with him to the jobsite in Irmo,

SC to check out their handy-work.

They specialize in TILT-UP construction

. . .reinforced concrete walls that begin horizontally,

then are lifted in place vertically.

In this instance, they are erecting walls for a new church.

Huge metal beams are bolted into place

to secure the walls until another

sub-contractor erects the steel I-beams

which will become the interior walls

(the walls were straight. . . the camera was NOT)
