Neoteric Special Project: Steel Building
- Neoteric employees prepare to move a new 7,000-pound steel building from the area in which it was constructed to its eventual location. Company engineers devised a system to hover the building on a cushion of air, greatly reducing the difficulty of the project.

- The hover system for the building uses two modified hovercraft engine modules, one at each end of the building.

- The engines are started up and the building begins its transit across the grounds.

- Moving the building along the walkway

- Directing the building as it approaches the east factory building

- The building begins to make the turn as it passes the east building.

- Continuing the operation, the building continues its course.

- Neoteric crew members propel the building from behind as well as in front

- The team pauses for a moment to plan out the steps to get the building around several young trees to its destination.

- The building is guided across a grassy area to its final position.

- After the building has been set in place outside the main offices and prepared for its use as a fireproof storage location, company files are moved inside.
