MAST CLIMBERS
Winnipeg: It is a collection of sloping wall sections and glazing that represent a mountain and the clouds. It will look fantastic when it is done. The unique design brings a number of challenges for the masonry contractor, GA Masonry. The building envelope consists of walls varying in slope from three degrees to 27 degrees from vertical. Access to get material to the elevated wall sections is limited.

Gordon: I have seen a wider use of the equipment, indicating an overall wider awareness of the MCWP. Mason contractors are getting creative and comfortable with their use. The down side to that is that, in certain circumstances, complacency may set in. I want to encourage all users to continually ensure that their installers and masons have
Masonry access that lets you outperform.
