18 W 55th Street - Midtown Manhattan, NY

PROJECT VOIDED SLAB ACHIEVEMENTS:

  • Desimone Consulting Engineers met the challenge of maintaining the same slab thickness in the balconies as the main slab with the use of Cobiax USA CLS voids.

  • A dead load reduction of 10 cubic yards of concrete or approximately 20 Tons. 

  • The removal of the concrete resulted in less cement and a lower carbon footprint reduced by 2 Tons of CO2.

18 West 55th St. is a new 26-story multifamily building containing 97 rental units along with retail units at the ground level. Cobiax USA voids were supplied for 1,800 s.f. of balconies on four levels (Floors 13, 14, 28, & 22).
