1.   Could I install a big, sturdy I-beam or one of the new laminated beams to take the place of the present beam supported by columns?

2.   I saw when they brought the new beams in.

3.   One crane was to hold up the roof while the other crane lowered in the new beam.

4.   The April shuttle crew also installed a small electrically powered rail car atop the new beam segment.

5.   The new spot beams will overcome that inefficiency.

6.   They accepted that a new main beam would be needed to level the first floor, but thought most of the work would be only cosmetic.

7.   A permanent replacement will require new concrete beams and could take several weeks, Berzok said.

8.   Now, all around the blast site, construction workers are pounding in new beams and posts, repairing walls and ceilings, replacing awnings.
