Process Details
Timeless was primarily a metalworking project, incorporating around 400 feet of steel tube and 650 feet of aluminum tube. The base and stem were fabricated from steel for stability and strength, while aluminum was used for the upper half to lower the center of mass. The sculpture’s base holds over 9,000 pounds of concrete ballast. Roadrunner Fabrication assisted by rolling the metal to achieve complex curves, with custom splines required for the legs of the stem.
The piece is assembled using 275 bolts, collectively weighing nearly 350 pounds. Heavy machinery was employed on-site, with team members working on boom lifts while a forklift lull helped position each section. The structure achieved full integrity once the final top joint was secured, evenly distributing the forces.
