Raising Day - Bays

Once the second Bent is up, we must connect it to the first Bent through the 'Bay' space. We use the telehandler to raise these beams into position between Bents. We can either receive these beams on a ladder, scaffolding, or a scissor lift depending on their height above the floor. Another piece of equipment needed for a successful raising is 'scaffolding or scissor lifts'. (Which one depends on information I am not unpacking here.) 
 

Every design is a combination of 'Bents' and 'Bays'. Some designs may have 10+ 'Bents' and 'Bay' spaces between each one. A raising is a continual process between raising 'Bents' with the crane and raising beams through the 'Bay' with the telehandler, or the crane.
