WATER PROOFING

Once the lowest level was demolished the existing roof of the building below was exposed. Gramercy provided waterproofing in order to maintain a weather tight atmosphere for the active structure.  

SCULPTURE RESTORATION

Sculptures were staged on site while the NLCB was active. Gramercy was required to reassemble these sculptures throughout the site including the construction of new concrete footings and pedestals.

SITE WORK

Once water proofing was complete, backfilling and compaction was performed in order to bring the site back to grade. Once compaction is achieved, new landscape features were to be installed including sod, ivy, hardscapes, etc. Over 200 trees were scheduled to be installed at completion of the project. In addition, new sidewalks, asphalt, and curbing was installed along with associated drainage.
