Spanning five passenger rail tracks, the 500-ft-long steel box girder bridge connects both halves of the university campus and their surrounding neighborhoods.

Inspired by a honeybee’s flight pattern, the 265-ft-long pedestrian overpass reunites neighborhoods long separated by an urban roadway.

It took intensive planning and tremendous teamwork to install the new Metro North Railroad/Atlantic Street Bridge in busy and congested downtown Stamford, Conn., and to prevent any serious disruption to commuter rail service as well.

Appropriately for a building dedicated to science education, the project utilized several leading-edge design and building approaches to manage the work of more than 50 trade contractors during the 30-month construction phase.

Working 24/7, the team supported by the Greater Boston Building Trades designed and built the emergency 1,000-bed hospital for COVID-19 patients inside the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in four days.

Major construction work took place on a campus running full steam amid the pandemic at multiple manufacturing, warehousing, office and research buildings. Extensive planning and teamwork were required to pull off 42 individual but interrelated projects during a three-year period without interrupting work at the complex.

To create seven ethane cracking units (ECUs) for a new plastic production plant in Pennsylvania, the project team constructed a total of 50 modules configured with structural steel, piping, electrical cable and control systems over an 18-month period.

On a 16-month project to improve an existing five-story central heating plant on the Boston College campus, with only one allotted shutdown allowed, the team committed nearly two years to preconstruction and extensive planning.

Located adjacent to an existing high school, the facility offers more than 600 students a variety of career and vocational technical programs.
