Through a $204 million dollar contract with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Skanska has been selected to fabricate and erect approximately 11,000 tons of structural steel for the Santiago Calatrava designed Oculus building at the new World Trade Center Transportation Hub.

Skanska USA Civil’s operating unit Skanksa Koch will construct the structure's steel that will frame the hub’s main concourse including portals, arches and rafters that combine to give the building its signature winged appearance. The oculus building will stand at 150 ft upon its completion and will serve approximately 200,000 commuters per day.

Construction is expected to be completed by July 2013.
