 Yankee
Stadium
When sudden falling debris and support beams plagued the famed House That
Ruth Build, Opening Day was imminent and in jeopardy. The Parks Commission
of New York City summoned Burgess Steel -- not just to repair the damage
-- but to assure the integrity of the entire structure with reinforcements.
Only Burgess was able to respond so quickly, fabricating custom structural
steel supports and putting them in place over a weekend, saving Opening
Day in the Bronx. |

 NBC's
"Today Show"
The plans for the new setting of the network's morning show called for a
view of Manhattan from street level, seen through glass windows placed behind
the anchor desk. The problem? The NBC building's support columns were conspicuously
in the shot. Burgess Steel was called on to remove the columns, which involved
executing a made to order steel structure to bear the weight of the entire
building in order to facilitate the elimination of columns. In fact performance
is key to repeat business and has carried over to other NBC projects such
as CNBC (Fort Lee, NJ), MSNBC (Secaucus, NJ), CNBC corporate headquarters
(Englewood Cliffs, NJ).

 Carnegie
Hall
The 200th Anniversary celebration was near when renovation work revealed
a building support column in the middle of a pivotal planned doorway entrance.
Burgess Steel was chosen to expedite a unique load transfer framing system
to facilitate the column's removal. The $10K+ per plate dinner reception
was able to go on as scheduled. |

 Trump
Plaza & Condominiums (Gulf & Western Building)
Infamous for the way it swayed in strong wind, this prime real estate location
was sorely in need of reinforcement. Burgess Steel was named as the company
to fabricate and erect the steel reinforcements, minimizing the sway. |

 Manhattan's
Marriott Marquis
When originally built, a large number of beams required for the huge project
were constructed a little out of whack by the hotel's contractor -- which
meant things were not plumb … a potential disaster for installing walls,
carpentry and other work that rely on things being truly square. Burgess
Steel was contracted to invent , manufacture and install specialized steel
corrective framing to make all the angles proper. Responding in a heartbeat,
Burgess executed the corrections within days.

 The
Daily News
When New York's largest circulation newspaper faced the massive undertaking
of moving its printing presses and offices from the City to New Jersey,
it found the new location short on space. Burgess Steel was tapped to frame
out the building to yield more room. |
