Crown Steel Design and Coordination

Design and facilitate engineering for crown back up steel with respect to the panelization/cladding. 

DETAILS

The cladding is made up of approximately 1,650 unique stone panels arrayed in an irregular module covering around 15,000 sf at the south, west, and north side of the tower.

Deliverables
