AOL Time Warner Building
Project Description
Address: 10 Columbus Cir, New York, NY 10019
Project Completed:
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 not only can handle the high volume of workers and materials needed, but also must be able to "keep up" with the fast pace of work being put into place.
When the AOL-Time Warner Construction was finished, dismantling of the Hoisting System scheduling advantages became critical as well: Contractually, the two (2) hoisting complexes required dismantling to be completed in 24 weeks, 12 weeks per side. UBS was able to expedite the dismantle for the overall advantage to the project to a previously unimaginable total of 5 weeks (South 3 weeks, North 2 weeks), safely and without incident.
