PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC), a leading civil and building
construction company, announced today that the Philadelphia office of
its subsidiary, Tutor Perini Building Corp., has recently set a record
in Philadelphia with the mat foundation pour for the W/Element Hotel.
Beginning on Saturday morning, July 9, 2016 at 2:00 a.m., Tutor Perini
Building Corp. and the team responsible for the construction of the new
W/Element Hotel development made history in Center City Philadelphia.
Five thousand eight hundred fifty cubic yards of concrete were placed to
build the massive steel-reinforced mat foundation of the 51-story,
755-room dual-branded complex operated by Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc. The 28-hour effort – completed at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday,
July 10, 2016 – resulted in the largest continuous concrete pour in
Philadelphia history.
To commemorate the event, the milestone was recorded with time-lapse
cameras, and we are pleased to provide a web link to the first of two
programs about the pour. The link, https://youtu.be/3nlJ6zb5mJw,
will take you (and those with whom you share the link) to a brief,
four-minute presentation describing the event. A more detailed video is
in production and will be released soon.
Tutor Perini was awarded the approximately $239 million contract in 2015
by Chestlen Development and Vine Street Matthews, a joint venture
between Matthews Southwest and Vine Street Ventures. Cope Linder
Architects is the project designer. O’Donnell & Naccarato is the
structural engineer. Thomas P. Carney was the concrete subcontractor.
Tutor Perini’s top local executive, Peter Sukalo, said, “After years in
