Buckland & Taylor Ltd., Seattle, a member of the COWI Group, will provide erection engineering for the “Oculus” at the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in New York. Skanska Koch Inc., New York, will be the project lead. A complex signature structure designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, the Oculus will include more than 11,000 tons of steel and will rise to 150 ft at its highest point. The project is expected to be completed in 2013.
