Cavity Connectors Used To Attach Glazing Framework

The New York Waterway recently renovated their Midtown Welcome Center. The center is located on the Hudson River on the Westside Highway. The renovation involved the addition of 2 new, glass clad buildings. Cavity connectors were selected to attach the glazing framework to the hollow section steel. The cavity connectors allowed the contractors to prefab all of the HSS with holes already drilled. This greatly reduced site labor because the framework could be easily and simply installed with regular hand tools. Since there was no welding required, no hot permits, site power or skilled labor were required, which was a significant cost savings.
