Last week marked a hefty milestone for Pittsburgh International Airport’s new terminal program: the installation of two 50-ton steel girders to form a structural slab foundation using a 200-foot crane.
The procedure required an hours-long shutdown of the trains that run between the terminals in order to maintain maximum safety for staff, construction workers and passengers.
