Workers Install the Frames of the Arched Support Beams for the Education Center Porch

Workers started and finished the installation of the arched support beams for the education center porch. Each archway had to have a supportive form made out of bendable plywood, so that the form would take on the contour of the arch. The villagers have to make special pieces of metal rebar reinforcement pieces to tie into the main support beam so that base of the arch is also reinforced with rebar. Once the support beam has been poured, the last row of blocks can be laid and the roofing team will finally be able to finish their job.
