Prestigious High-Rise Lifting for Hilton’s Newest NYC Hotel
Positive Lifting proudly completed a critical project for Omni Build & Precise Holding, providing comprehensive crane and rigging services for the construction of a 20-story hotel located at 36 West 38th Street, one of Hilton’s newest and most prestigious additions to the New York City skyline. This large-scale development required the lifting of all building materials, concrete superstructure components, and heavy equipment—all of which we executed with precision and care, ensuring the project's success from start to finish.
Strategic Pre-Construction Planning
Our team’s involvement began during the pre-construction phase, where we collaborated closely with our client to optimize the lifting plan, identify potential challenges, and create efficient solutions. This proactive planning allowed us to streamline operations, save significant time, and ultimately complete the project two months ahead of schedule—a testament to our ability to manage complex logistics effectively.
Seamless Heavy Lifting in Midtown Manhattan
Operating 24/7 in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, Positive Lifting demonstrated our ability to coordinate heavy lifting operations while maintaining full traffic flow and ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Our team meticulously designed lift plans and rigging strategies, successfully navigating the unique challenges of working in a busy urban environment. With careful coordination, we were able to meet all requirements while keeping the project on track, even under tight deadlines.
Precision Installation of Architectural Features
The scope of work on this project included the installation of the hotel’s façade, which features light gray metal paneling and an expansive glass curtain wall, complemented by a staggered window arrangement framed by wood panels on the northern elevation. As the tower’s design culminated with a setback bulkhead and a metal canopy over the main entrance, Positive Lifting played an essential role in ensuring the safe and timely installation of these architectural elements.
Efficient Execution of Complex Lifting Operations
Throughout the construction process, Positive Lifting operated around the clock to efficiently move and lift materials and equipment, often requiring lifts of up to 300 feet. Our fleet of mobile cranes, coupled with state-of-the-art rigging solutions, ensured that each lift—from structural components to intricate materials—was carried out with utmost precision and reliability. By coordinating all lifts seamlessly, we ensured that the project stayed on track and adhered to the ambitious timeline, despite the complexities of working in a fast-paced urban setting.
