A touchdown for Structal-Heavy Steel
BOUCHERVILLE, QC
Structal-Heavy Steel Construction has landed a contract to fabricate the steel structure to be used to build the new football stadium owned jointly by the New York Giants and New York Jets.
The contract awarded to Structal by Skanska Koch is valued at just over CAN$100 million, while the cost of building the stadium is estimated at nearly CAN$1.7 billion.
The 82,000-seat stadium is expected to open in 2010. It will be built between the Giants’ current stadium and the recreational Meadowlands Xanadu complex in East Rutherford, NJ. This complex is another Structal project.
