MiniBooNE Tank Scaffold Installation

Photos from January 5-6, 2001

Note: most of these images were lost in a disk crash...

From January 5 through 8, Bartlett Services installed scaffolding in the MiniBooNE tank. These pictures show progress during the first day and a half (when I had to leave). By the end of Day 2, the framing was complete to the top of the tank. On Day 3, the remaining decking and the planking on the outriggers were installed. Day 4 was mostly used for cleanup. Bartlett did a fabulous job for us!
