Essentia places final beam at top of Vision Northland

Essentia Health celebrated the placement of the uppermost steel beam on its Vision Northland project with a "topping-out" ceremony Tuesday afternoon. The beam will form the helipad platform on the highest level of Vision Northland.

The beam was raised with an American flag and an evergreen tree atop it. The tree, according to McGough Executive Vice President of Project Management Jeff Dzurik, symbolizes the birth of the new building, good luck for future occupants, continued growth in concert with the environment and a safe job well done. The topping-out ceremony is an ironworker tradition.
