Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 3447259, member: 6809"] The following is a letter sent to Geiger Founder and president David Campbell today at 4:44 P.M. Geiger Engineers Dear Mr. Campbell, I am getting back to you again for several reasons. First to thank you for this initial letter from you to explain what "fabric arches are". I posted your letter on the syracusefan.com Football Board and again would like to invite you to enjoy our discussions there when and if you have the time. We have been discussing the roof, cabling, strand jacking and all the things required to "raise this new beautiful roof" all based on your letter. It has educated and taken us to engineering discussions each day for a month. One thing we are all concerned about is what you described in your letter and I quote you here, " The fabric arches are attached to the cable truss by the way of steel fabrications that bolt to the cable intersection clamps. The typical arch attachment is made via a machined ball & socket so as to “pin” the arch to the cable truss. You should be able to see these being attached on the web cam after the cable truss is pulled into place and jacked, which will be occurring over the next 4 to 5 weeks." This seems a very dangerous part of this phase of the roof project but I suppose installing the arches is second nature to your crew, (construction crew). We all wish you to be cautious anyway. The project seems to be in excellent shape at this point and we are anxiously awaiting the results. We also read about you and your experience with Geiger being the founder and principal. Congratulations to you on your great career with Geiger. And, for taking time to correspond with us. It is with high regard I send this to you and wish you the best to the culmination of a very successful project The Syracuse Stadium Roof. Thank you for your interest in us. Very Sincerely, Bill Phillips SUID, IDSA Syracuse Alums, and Current syracusefan.com members and Administration [/QUOTE]
