For Dismantling?

I was looking at the rafters (on TV) of The Ice Palace Amalie Arena during the VERY disappointing hockey last night.

I noticed that many of the i-beams are bolted together.

It occurred to me to wonder, "Is this so they can take the building apart?"

This seems doubtful.

    Maybe it's easier to spot a bad bolt joint than a bad weld joint.

    And bolting is quicker than welding or riveting.

    And bolts and their holes serve as a self-indexing system.

    Or, maybe welders charge/make too much money and any mook can work a wrench?

    Dunno. Wondered that myself off and on over the years.
