25 tons

Components

Beams, Stringer Channels, Grating, Stair Treads & Handrails

BridgePort I is intended as a high-capacity storage and distribution center situated on a large 60-acre site, BridgePort I is strategically located within proximity to I-95 and the Outerbridge Crossing to Staten Island, NY. On the banks of the Arthur Kill, the project is situated on a former Act 2 site and involved heavy site cleanup and ground improvements.  Inclusive of one standalone building, the project will boast over 243,600 square feet of usable space.

The rooftop access staircase is constructed from 25 tons of hot dip galvanized steel beam columns, staircases and handrails and assemble at V&S Amboy Galvanizing. The location of V&S Amboy Galvanizing being so close to the jobsite made it possible to send large sections directly to the jobsite for a seamless installation for the General Contractor Alloy Welding.

“Our ongoing partnership with the city resulted in a seamless approvals process, and we look forward to working alongside Mayor Caba and the City to bolster the local economy, showcase the region’s talented workforce, and create new job opportunities”

Protecting America's Infrastructure One Dip at a Time

Pinecrest I74 Bridge

The Pinecrest I-74 Bridge replacement features a 214-foot, two-span structure with hot-dip galvanized composite plate girders supporting cast-in-place concrete decking, designed to eliminate low clearance safety issues from the original 1959 bridge. IDOT specified galvanizing for its proven longevity value in bridge infrastructure, with staged construction maintaining traffic flow during replacement.

One uCity Square

This custom steel sculpture was engineered specifically for hot-dip galvanizing with careful consideration of kettle dimensions, drainage placement, and warping prevention, then finished with a striking 2-part epoxy coating in blue and brown. The project transformed rigid steel into fluid movement while achieving lasting durability through galvanized corrosion protection and vibrant color finishes.

OSU Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital

OSU Wexner Medical Center's $1.9 billion inpatient hospital tower utilized hot-dip galvanized steel for mechanical floors 7-10, including HVAC louvre support and curtain wall systems housing equipment at the top of Ohio State University's largest capital project in history.

St. George’s Bridge

St. George's Bridge's 18-month renovation utilized hot-dip galvanized rails and barriers to replace corroded components, with the Army Corps of Engineers selecting galvanizing for longevity in harsh Mid-Atlantic coastal conditions along the C&D Canal.
