Question:

how were the segments of the arch shipped to Stlouis?

Hurry, i don't have much time

Answer:

Yes they are, although you will need to watch what you place them on as the base gets really hotI think the ones you saw are a heavier grade or aluminium.
We tried one when I was in collegeThe coals melted through the bottom, and almost set our balcony on fireA small 'smokey joe' grill is only about $40 and is made of steelDon't even bother with those disposable ones.
The contract was with Pittsburgh and DesMoines SteelThe steel pieces for the segments were shipped to St.Louis by truck and were assembled on the groundsAfter assembly, each section was 12 feet high and weighed 50 tonsAs they were put in place the steel structures were filled with concreteCreeper cranes were attached to the legs to continue to assemble these sections.
