Today we celebrated an important milestone with Boone County Health Center as we placed the final structural beam on their Outpatient Clinic Expansion. 

This Topping Out ceremony signifies the finish of the structural steel portion of the project. The final steel beam is sometimes signed by owners or investors (or in this case, the public and staff). It is their way of symbolically “signing off” on a job well done. The beam is decorated with an American flag and a small evergreen tree. These customs signify patriotism and a wish for the successful life and growth of the building.
