Baker worked with Plan B Engineering and determined that beam sections would need to be cut and removed from the structure’s interior, rather from the exposed ends jutting from the building. Taking into account the many complex logistical challenges of the project, R. Baker & Son was challenged to develop an innovative plan to remove the huge beams safely and efficiently. The falsework beams were installed on the 6th floor to provide temporary structural support until the concrete had sufficiently cured while construction progressed on the floors above. Baker & Son took on one of the challenging project’s early hurdles: the removal of massive steel I-beams cantilevered 25 feet over the roof of an adjacent building. Not surprisingly, construction of 56 Leonard was exceptionally complex, even by New York City standards, which was recognized last month when ENR New York named 56 Leonard 2017’s Best Project in the Residential/Hospitality category. Known as the Jenga Tower due to its stunning and unusual appearance, the glass-encased 60-story building features a staggered silhouette of shifting and varying floorplates, cantilevers, and balconies.
