Steel was picked from trucks on the street and placed on the steel floor framing prior to being erected. Where materials can be stored on site steel is frequently left at ground level and picked directly into position on the building frame. In many urban projects steel is picked and stored temporarily on the highest completed floor structure prior to being placed in position. A sidewalk bridge has been erected over both Nassau Street and Pine Street to protect passersby and to provide a staging platform for materials.
