Medical office suite: Steel frame erection.
- 5000sq ft Medical Building. Bronx NY.
- Steel moment frame with 1" expansion joint to adjacent properties
- Foundation type: Helical Piles with framed slab on grade was determined to be more cost effective than removal of existing fill and compaction for spread footings.
We cantilevered the framing from the remnants of a support frame which originally supported a 250ft TV Antenna.
The truss framing was required to be constructed of steel pieces which could be shipped on a small boat and erected by hand.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Kevin on occasions when working on a renovation project at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2000 to 2002.
Kevin was generous with his time and provided me with some insights on several of his projects.
