DECONSTRUCTING GALILEO

June 3rd, 2010, 10:20 am

A+ Team members remove the rotating platform from the Galileo tower structure

The stormy weather paused just long enough to allow A+ Team to tear down Noel Harding’s Galileo.  With the aid of scaffolding on loan from Band-Ayd Systems, the brave students were able to safely remove the potted trees and large rotating platform from the 4m tall tower.  Once the turntable was comfortably on the ground, removing the bolts and disassembling the steel tower was a simple procedure.

Securing the steel components to Rod Strickland's pickup truck

The next step will be cleaning and preparing the metal parts and redesigning the rotating mechanism so that the sculpture can be erected in Guelph. Hopefully the weather will be as kind during the next outdoor mission.
