CLT panels flying on the GL framing

After four days of actual work on the job site the CLT deck on top of the GL framing is almost done. The X-shaped steel bracing system is already in position, waiting to be tightened. All the CLT panels will be connected to the GL beams from the top (no needs to install scaffolds underneath); the panels are also connected toghether by using couples of inclined screws (partial thread and full thread).
