jbum123 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Looks more like piles to me. Drive em deep so it doesn't fall over in soft soil. Google them. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I-beams. Most likely for building construction. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Actually, those beams aren't piles, as piles would have way more steel to allow for greater stability. It's the structure, and someone has ID that piece over Twitter to be almost identical to the Goliath structure at SFGA. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt they will be cutting and welding those beams on site to build a station. Most steel is going to come prefabbed for steel structures. There may be occasional field modded pieces but cutting those in the field does not make economical sense. I'm calling piles or part of a retaining wall since they almost all appear to be the same length. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had better NOT be. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 ***edited Yeah, Mr. Glauser is wrong on this. The beams he sees in on Goliath are Channel beams or C-Beams. The ones sitting by WWC are I-beams and more than likely for pile driving and building a retaining wall during construction.

The Interpreter Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 And SFGA is NJFTP. That place in Illinois is SFGAm. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Those are just i-beams. The ones on Goliath are "c" shaped. The beams could be for anything like the station or transfer shed frame. And the I-track that RMC uses is shaped like the Roman numerical of 2.

psycho43142 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 SFGAm is in IL, SFGAdv is in NJ. That makes it easy to distinguish between the 2. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's good enough for me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
