2020 Roger H. Corbetta Awards' Winners
Named By Concrete Industry Board
New York, NY November 24, 2020………The Concrete Industry Board (CIB) announced the 2020 winners of its prestigious Roger Corbetta Awards for Quality Concrete. The awards celebrate innovative design and construction utilizing concrete in the New York metropolitan area, as well as out of area projects that have been designed or constructed by CIB member companies.
“We are delighted to announce this year’s winners, chosen by our judges from a very impressive list of entrants that made the final decisions extremely difficult. Although, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be gathering in person this year to celebrate these wonderful achievements we did want to move ahead with acknowledgement of the winners and all entrants,” said Michael Welch, 2020 Roger H. Corbetta Awards Dinner chairman.
“Unfortunately it is not prudent to come together physically to celebrate these winners, but we will do so as soon as the global crisis has eased, the virus ceases to be a threat, and we can safely go about the business and responsibility of hosting such an event. Much as in the construction of these and all projects, the safety is our primary concern and that is what will drive our decision on selecting a time to reschedule,” he added
2020 Roger H. Corbetta Annual Award Winner
The 2020 Roger H. Corbetta Annual Award Winner is the dramatic residential tower at 111 West 57th Street, the “slenderest high rise in the history of mankind.” At a total height of 1,421 feet, and with a small footprint of 11,400 square feet, 111 West 57th Street achieves a record slenderness ratio of 1:24.
The “pencil building” is the composition of two separate projects: the renovation of the existing landmarked Steinway building, and the construction of a new super-tall tower, partially rising from within the Steinway building. Designed by SHoP Architects for owner, JDS Development, The 95-story new development is composed of an 85-story concrete superstructure crowned by a 10-story steel bulkhead atop. Because of its extreme slenderness, and the inherent challenges that come with its unique conditions, several atypical structural systems had to be deployed.
WSP USA is the structural engineer for the project and Parkside Construction the concrete construction subcontractor for the foundation and Manhattan Concrete is the concrete construction subcontractor for the superstructure. Due to the large number of rebar that had to be used to reinforce the walls, self-consolidating concrete mixes with high quantities of slag cement were used.
