Skanska To Fabricate Oculus Building At Ground Zero Transit Hub
Skanska has won a $204-million contract from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to fabricate and erect approximately 11,000 tons of structural steel for the Santiago Calatrava-designed transit station at the new 800,000-sq-ft World Trade Center Transportation Hub, currently under construction.
Skanska USA Civil's operating unit Skanska Koch will construct the so-called “Oculus” building that will frame the hub's main concourse. The structure includes portals, arches and rafters that combine to give the building its signature winged appearance.
