ForConstructionPros.com
Navy Pier is considered one of Chicago's most historical and popular landmarks that the city has to offer. Currently the 98-year-old pier is being reimagined as it approaches its centennial anniversary in 2016. The goal: to convert it into a bolder, greener and more contemporary urban space. The redevelopment project has one very intricate task of cutting out and removing 56 sections of massive structural concrete slabs and beams directly over Lake Michigan. These concrete openings are being created for the installation of new recessed steel and concrete tree pits that range in size between 17 feet by 16 feet and as large as 17 feet by 28 feet.
