IMC’s Innovative Approach to Project Challenges

Challenge Toggle Accordion Content

During construction, the client required flexibility about the ultimate number of floors. 
Solution Toggle Accordion Content

A 200-foot, 115-ton gantry crane was cantilevered on the side of the building. 
Value Add Toggle Accordion Content

This allowed tower sections to be inserted, with the crane climbing as floors were added.
