CENTER SPLINE INSTALLATION

Click here to see what the finished sculpture will look like.

the structural support for the greenwood fire station is now in place. here's a look at the installation process:

the pipe is 6" diam. galvanized steel. it is approx. 14 ft. tall. the holes are where the LEDs will be located, corresponding to the glass sections where light will shine through.

the top of the pipe is fitted with a stainless steel cap which will keep the artwork watertight and house the controller for the lights.

steve twedt from apex metal fabrication handles the installation.
