Hudson Sky Tower Steel Framework

The Manhattan Skyline Steel Reinforcement project was a cornerstone in the development of the Hudson Yards Complex, a multi-billion-dollar urban redevelopment initiative led by Turner Construction Company. As New York City’s skyline expanded, our company was entrusted with the fabrication, welding, and assembly of over 100,000 tons of structural steel for skyscrapers, commercial high-rises, and pedestrian bridges.

One of the most demanding aspects of this project was executing high-altitude welding operations on supertall skyscrapers, where precision and safety were paramount. Our team utilized Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) to construct steel frameworks capable of withstanding high wind loads, seismic forces, and fire exposure.

To ensure the structural integrity of these buildings, our welders fabricated and installed customized steel trusses, cantilevered sections, and deep foundation reinforcements that allowed for innovative architectural designs. The use of pre-fabricated modular steel components significantly expedited construction timelines while reducing onsite hazards.

This project also required meticulous adherence to American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) standards and New York City Building Codes, ensuring compliance with the highest industry benchmarks. The completion of our steel reinforcement work contributed to transforming Hudson Yards into one of the most significant urban developments in the U.S., attracting top-tier businesses and residential communities.
