Sheathing Reaches the Tower Frame of the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple

Sheathing of the exterior surfaces of the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple has reached the base of the tower frame, while cladding of the ground level with prefabricated granite panels progresses up the south and southwest walls. In the west parking lot, lamp posts are being wired and secured to concrete bases. The temple is a replacement building for the sixth temple built in Utah, located on the same site.

Structural Framing Tops Out for the Vancouver Washington Temple

A major milestone was recently reached at the Vancouver Washington Temple. The steel frame for the tower was erected, and a topping out ceremony was held by the steelworkers to mark the placement of the final, highest structural beam. Steel shear studs are being arc-welded to the metal floor decking, and rebar is being hoisted to each floor for installation prior to pouring the concrete floor slabs. Installation of the parking lot curbing also continues.
