AOL Time Warner Building, NYC
Project Description
Address: 10 Columbus Circle, New York, NY
Year of Completion: 2003
The Time Warner World Headquarters at Columbus Circle in NYC gave UBS the unique challenge of performing the largest single building hoisting project in the history of Manhattan, at over $12 million with 12 operational hoists. The building superstructure was built at a rate of one floor every two days. This two-day cycle style of construction is unique to New York City and required a hoisting system that can handle the high volume of workers and materials needed and "keep up" with the fast pace of work.
When the AOL-Time Warner Construction was finished, scheduling advantages of dismantling the hoisting system became critical as well. Contractually, the two hoisting complexes required dismantling to be completed in 24 weeks, 12 weeks per side. UBS was able to expedite the dismantle to a previously unimaginable total of 5 weeks (South 3 weeks, North 2 weeks), safely and without incident.
