Ironworkers getting a stubborn I-beam to fit: "raw" construction footage #2 from Ⓗ Week 55

When the ironworkers are assembling the structural steel frame of the building, sometimes an I-beam won't quite fit unless they tweak the structure a bit. This video shows an example of that. The first beam fits fine, but then they struggle for a while with the second beam until an "adjustment" is made to the structure.
Usually I speed things up, time-lapse style, but every so often I include some original "raw" construction footage at original speed with original audio. This video was also in Week 55's Weekly Time-lapse, but there it was sped up with music, whereas here it is at original speed with original audio. I use the term "raw footage" loosely. It is not completely un-edited - the footage has been color-corrected, stabilized, and titles added, for example. By "raw" I mean the footage has just been minimally edited, with no attempt to "tighten it up" or "tell a story" or any of those kinds of editing processes.
On this channel, we're following the construction of a new 12-story hospital that will occupy an entire city block in San Francisco. This video is from Ⓗ series construction week 55. Construction clips set #2, July 15, 2015.

@Jerry Brinkley That would work if they were near the ground, but in this case all steel work below would hold it tight.

I never worked in the field, but I was a structural steel estimator many years ago. I think we had very good detailers and shop personnel. Still, I imagine that there were times when the iron didn't fit exactly. At what point does a connector determine that the piece needs to be modified, and can the modification ever be done in the air?

Be tolerant, or bend

[@barryburton7755]

So your an expert from day 1 huh never a beginner or green horn ya self ...every one got a learn buddy

[@davehartnett2901]

mitzvah golem green horns don’t connect in larger cities. They’ll have them throwing decking or doing bent plate.

[@kenbrewsaugh2473]

Don't know why we still build these buildings out of steel!!! Espicaly now that we know a simple furniture fire will drop them like a controlled demolition!!!!!
