Two exceptional sections of the building are the cable wall and the skylight. The cable wall is a five-story wall system extending from the 28th to the 33rd floors on the west side of the building. In this area, 100 pieces of glass are mounted on 37-millimeter-thick cables that were tensioned between 34 and 37 kilo newton. At the skylight, Permasteelisa’s crew erected the support steel on a 30-degree pitch. They installed 91-4 inch by 8 inch by 7-foot long tube steel columns, and each column had to be individually surveyed and cut to fit before welded to existing stub columns. They also erected 77 total 5 inch by 5 inch by 30-foot tube steel ladder frames; the installation included a series of bolted and welded connections.

Above the 33rd floor, the wall panel elevation was located underneath the solar skylight. Ironworkers had to rig a cable system above the roof beams to secure swing scaffold rigging and life lines for the metal panel install. Staging areas off the intermediate support struc- ture penetrated the elevations to provide mid-point work stations. Dellovade and its crew installed 10,000 square feet of 3-inch insulated metal panel back-up; 11,000 square feet of insulated metal panels; 9,800 square feet of uninsulated metal panels; 3,800 square feet of ACM panels; and 5,400 square feet of vertical louvers. Upon entering the tower, the interior glass installed by members of Local 3 working for D-M Products Incor- porated will be evident. From the all-glass entrances and bathroom partitions to the decorative wall glass in the main and elevator lobbies, D-M Products used the skill set required to handle and install glass. The num- bers speak to the impressiveness of the tower: 10,000 square feet of bathroom partitions, 2,500 square feet of lobby glass, 2,300 square feet of glass entrances and 1,200 square feet of mirrors. Tenants occupying the space will use stairs installed by Local 3 members working for Miscellaneous Industries. Miscellaneous had four to six floors worth of stringers and risers/pans delivered at a time and craned into the building. Only three ironworkers took on the task and erected stairs in the three main stair towers: 838 risers in Stair A, 804 risers in Stair B and 760 risers in Stair C. As part of the innovative design that promotes col- laboration and shared amenities, the west side of the building includes separate two-floor staircases Miscella- neous also installed. These 12 “neighborhood” staircases span the space between two floors and give easy access to sun-absorbing spaces to employees. This feature was pertinent to meet the goal of focusing on employee interaction within the building.

All eyes will continue to be on this project until it OCTOBER is completed. Everyone will watch to see this building “breathe” and shatter the existing mold for a LEED Plati- num® skyscraper. It will add more character to an ever growing skyline and give those who worked on it another

26008_IW_Oct_15.indd 13 10/9/15 8:29 PM In Honor of Our Long-Standing Members

General President Eric Dean, and the general executive council, salute our members with the longest years of service to the Iron Workers International. Listed below are 322 members, with initiation dates beginning September 1936 through Septem- ber 1947. With years of service to our International ranging from 67 to 78 years, we admire them for their commitment and loyalty to our organization. These ironworkers fought to win many of the rights and protections we enjoy today, and continue to believe in the solidarity of our union. We owe a debt of gratitude to these longstanding members, and they can best be honored by continuing in their footsteps and fighting for our way of life and our great organization.

When asked about the effectiveness of the distance learning program, Woolsey com- mented, “Our distance learning program benefits the apprentices in that they do not have to travel weekly to the training center which means they are not taking off work. The contractors benefit as their apprentices are always on the job.” In 2009, Local 495 Apprenticeship Coordinator Rick Meyer was involved in implementing distance learning.

Over the years their primary use of distance learning has been in the southeastern part of the state where there is a lot of energy work. The distance from the training center to the work sites is about 380 miles one way. According to Meyer, “Distance learning has been a huge asset in that apprentices dramatically cut their travel time and costs and as a result are more motivated.” That motivation may be due to the fact if they do not uphold their commitments required for distance learning, they may find themselves back in Local 387 apprentice Kevin Blair at the the traditional program. training center.
