plant tour

My studio went on a field trip today out to the suburbs for a plant tour of a precast concrete company. They have a production system that is the only one of its kind in the northern hemisphere, or so the owner told us. Essentially, there are large tables or beds which move on a sliding system from station to station. After the tour, we went to a nearby project site to see the construction of precast panels from the plant. By the time all of the touring was over, it was nearly 2pm and we were starving, so we stopped for pizza before heading back into the city.
