Vulcraft of New York Inc., part of the Charlotte, N.C.-based Nucor Corp., supplied approximately 160 tons of joist and girders.
The lower two floors were constructed with a load-bearing stud-wall system using 16-gauge galvanized steel studs sheathed with horizontally installed Betco 236R galvanized steel panels from Betco Inc.
Metal was used functionally and creatively throughout the D-Gallery project, from the gallery's steel frame structure, lead-coated copper roof and aluminum rainscreen cladding to interior elements.
About 13,200 tons of structural steel allow a 160-meter tall, 35-story mixed-use building to hold a gravity-defying 18-degree lean and earn a Guinness World Record.
The technology and processes behind making steel have changed in the past years to become increasingly more efficient for this vital construction material.
