PM Contracting was responsible for the general contracting portion of infrastructure
restoration in the Main Reading Room of the Central Research Library.
The project included erecting 70-foot high scaffolding towers over
the occupied Main Reading Room and encasing them in protective material
in order to expose, remove, and dispose of old infrastructure piping
and repairs of faux stone walls. A crane was erected on 40th Street
to boom steel members onto the roof for chiller plant replacement. |

General contracting work for the restoration of this large landmark collections
room included scaffolding the entire room to facilitate execution
of the work and enclosing the entire collections room with Astrofoil,
a thermal and moisture insulating material developed by NASA. |

PM Contracting was called on by the Department of General Services to complete
partitioning and exterior enclosures at the New Bronx Housing Court.
The construction, which was completed earlier than the 49-day schedule
called for, included ten floors of shaft-wall work, dry wall partition
and on-site security measures and winterization. The strict schedule
was enforced by a liquidated damages clause and the project was
also bonded. |
| 1873 Brooklyn Heights Carraige House Conversion | |
| Historic Renovation | |
|
This project designed by George W. Sweeney, Architects involved the complete
interior demolition of the structurally challenged edifice. Forty-three
full sized steel members replaced or augmented the original 4’
by 14’ wood joists. The entire rear wall of the structure
was replaced due to structural deficiencies. In addition to all
of the elaborately detailed classical elements typical of George
Sweeney projects, this renovation also included a rooftop gardens
and playground complete with waterproof, rubberized play pavers
and a rooftop building stairwell structure complete with skylights.
The interior were designed to be in keeping with the buildings provenance
and the front facade was maintained and restored due to its Landmark
status. All work was completed on an accelerated eight month schedule. |
