On Thursday of this week, the steel installers left the property. That signaled yet another moment of completion (almost) in the process of restoring the towers.
There are now three steel ring beams in each of the two towers, as well as four X-beams (in each tower) to ensure that they don't sway with the force of wind and other forces. At the very least, these reinforcements are meant to ensure that any swaying that does occur won't result in any further damage to the bricks or the mortar.
In addition to the re-inforcements, there are also two new steel ladders and cages (one in each tower). They have been installed as well, but each of them is about two feet too short, so the steel fabrication company has been asked to rectify the problem. Most probably, this will be done before the exterior scaffolding is removed (in about six weeks' time).
