2007-08 Photos - New Cargo Arch - Demo
| Well, once upon a time in the era of the domed station there evolved a cargo arch back when folks figured out that the helium didn't fill up the entire helium arch. But in the plans for the elevated station, the penultimate project is to turn the old biomed, power plant and garage arches into a new "logistics facility" with a building at the garage end and pallet storage in the rest of it. The efforts this summer involve demoing the old dome entrance, raising the power plant arch, and connecting all of the arches together into one structure...using pieces of the old arch to do so. | |
 To start with, that grammatically correct sign over the Dome entrance was removed (I). |
 A view from the galley window after a bit more of the facing was removed (TS). |
 A bit later, the rest of the entrance arch front is gone as well. |
 Time for the next piece of arch to go...(I) |
 ...thus (I). |
 The arch intersection is gone, here's a ground level view of the next phase of demo (I). |

 Looking out of the dome... |
...to where the fan room was about to go away...along with the snow melter. Remember the days of the snow melter? Keep going.... |
