One WTC Update
Built With Their Hands
• The innovative “cocoon” system, a safety feature
that protects the workers and public at
ground level from materials that may accidentally
fall from construction floors, envelopes the
building on all four sides.
•
More than 6,000 pieces of superstructure steel
have been installed to date.
Concrete work has
significantly accelerated.•
The number of workers laboring daily to build
the tower, already in the hundreds, is increasing
as more trades are mobilized.
•
Preparation is under way for material hoists to
the top of the tower.
Large elevators will be installed
on the east and west sides of the building;
some will carry workers to the top, while others
will be reserved for materials and equipment.
•
Fuel cells will be delivered to the site in early
summer. Fuel cells are essentially boxes that take
liquid natural gas and, through a chemical reaction,
release electricity and heat (for hot water)
that will be used in the finished building.
•
A new climbing crawler crane is scheduled to
arrive over the summer.
