Foundation work is advancing at the Heber Valley Utah Temple site, where crews have installed an extensive network of underground plumbing beneath a lean concrete slab. The plumbing infrastructure will support the temple’s future mechanical and drainage systems before structural foundations are installed. The slab provides a clean, stable working surface that will facilitate ongoing construction.

Installation of the tall window assemblies is underway at the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple using a specialized glass-lifting manipulator mounted to a telescoping lift. Equipped with powerful suction cups, the device allows crews to carefully lift, rotate, and position the large windows within the prepared openings. The precision system enables installers to make fine adjustments before permanently securing the assemblies to the structural framing.

Construction of the Wellington New Zealand Temple has risen above ground level as heavy steel framing reaches skyward. After months of excavation and foundation work, the first visible structural elements of the temple are now taking shape, giving a sense of the future form and scale of the building. The transition to vertical construction marks an exciting milestone for the project.
