"Topping Off" ceremony held for the Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems Brewer Professional Building |
1 September, 2008 - Recently, Barr & Barr and Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems held a "Topping Off" ceremony for the Brewer Professional Building. The occasion marks an important and visible milestone for the Brewer Professional Building scheduled to open by the end of 2009.
"Topping off" is an industry tradition that marks the moment when the uppermost steel beam is put in place, signifying the completion of the building’s main structure. To celebrate this event, the last steel beam is signed and hoisted into place by the project team. Traditionally, an evergreen tree and the American flag are placed on the beam as it is lowered on to the building. The evergreen symbolizes the growth and strength of the building and celebrates that the project has proceeded well and without injury.
