Pizzarotti replaces troubled concrete company at 161 Maiden Lane
Quote:
After a series of construction delays and accidents, a new concrete subcontractor will takeover at Fortis Property Group’s 161 Maiden Lane.
The project’s general contractor, Pizzarotti, replaced SSC High Rise Construction with RC Structures, documents filed with the city’s Department of Buildings show. The change follows a series of issues on the construction site, largely focused around pouring concrete for the floors of the planned 57-story luxury condo tower.
On Feb. 15, a concrete bucket grazed the 34th floor, causing some of the material to pour into the street and partially lifting part of the floor’s deck. The DOB issued a stop work order following the incident, and only started allowing some concrete work to commence on April 20. A partial stop-work order exists on the site.
Construction also halted on the site back in September, after Juan Chonillo, 36, an employee of SSC, fell to his death from the project’s 29th floor. Officials said he was wearing a harness at the time, but it wasn’t attached to anything. Construction commenced in December but was stopped twice again in January due to violations related to inadequate safety netting.
