pinpointing these locations, Hoffman performed field adjustments by either pushing or
pulling the steel into place. Once the steel was within acceptable tolerances, it was
permanently bolted. Hoffman adopted a routine of hanging steel in the morning, laser
shooting it in the afternoon, analyzing the reports in the evening, then reporting the
results to the ironworkers the next morning. Any panels that had to be adjusted were
rescanned to verify the new location (Stenning & Taylor, 2005). This innovative
approach enabled Hoffman to find out where the catenary was and preinstall shims prior
to assembling the aluminum mullion system that rests on the diagonal steel (Figure 13).
