### Progress continues at Central Academy
By Gwen Guerke, Milford Chronicle MILFORD — In a matter of minutes, a crane precisely hoisted an 11-ton beam of steel into the air, then accurately set it into place Monday morning. The beam is one of 11 providing a sound roof structure for the gym at Milford’s Central Academy, now under construction adjacent to Milford High School. It will be covered with a special material that offers sound-proofing in the new school. George England, project manager, said the prior to Monday’s maneuver beam was trucked in from Tennessee in two pieces. It was welded together on site. Under the skilled expertise of crane operator Rick Masten, the beam was lifted by large cables and set into notches on either side of the structure. "This is one of the most time-consuming parts," Mr. England said, referring to the two-year construction period for the school which will eventually house the district’s 8th and 9th grade students. Mr. Masten’s crane is nearly new. The computer inside the cab shows the $1 million piece of equipment has logged a mere 141 hours. He describes his heavy equipment office as "very comfortable. It has a nice radio and is air conditioning," he said. With 43 years experience at the controls, he should know. During the operation, he and crews from East Coast Erectors communicate with one another through hand signals to assure the project moves forward as planned. A small computer screen inside the cab also tells him that the 11-ton beam has the crane working at about 75 percent of capacity. It can handle up to 13,900 pounds. The lifting lever, or stick, is 195 feet tall. Once the beam was placed, two crew members climbed onto perpendicular beams to secure it in place while another steelworker hoisted a hefty level, taking readings to assure the maneuver placed the beam accurately.
