In this article, Joe tells us the story of the “UPTOWN HOUSTON STREETSCAPE” project. His involvement as a consultant and how the massive arches (12,000 square feet in all-spanning 165 feet) were fabricated and ultimately finished to a US # 8 architectural finish. You will find out how when something could go wrong – it did. You will be introduced to a special machine eventually to be known by all as the dinosaur and how relying only on a State of the Art CAD System can come back to haunt you.
