Two diesel-powered 760 Favco tower cranes, which were on site since the project was a hole in the ground, played a huge role in the successful project, said the late James Lomma, owner of the Favco cranes.Īccording to an article in the July 2013 issue of American Cranes & Transport, the first truckloads of the spire sections were hauled into New York City in the wee hours of the morning in the spring of 2013.
Placing the spire and its pedestal required a monumental effort that involved a cadre of designers, engineers, crane operators, riggers and crew, all of whom were proud and honored to take part in this sentimental project. The top section of the 408-foot spire would bring the building to its final height of 1,776 feet, a symbolic elevation that memorializes the year the Declaration of Independence was signed.
