Stop by our table at the 2024 Stem and Health Professions Career Fair at Manhattan University this afternoon! Table 131 in the Draddy Gymnasium. Hope to see you there! #ycc #careerfair #buildingqualitysince1945

On this day of remembrance, we honor the strength, resilience, and unity of all who were affected by the tragic events of 9/11. We will never forget. Pictured here, Yonkers worked on the foundation’s contracts for Towers 3 and 4 at the World Trade Center Site. The deep foundations required carefully controlled rock blasting, excavation and mass concrete placement. Since 2002, Yonkers is grateful to have worked on various projects at the World Trade Center site. #NeverForget #September11th #WTC #Flight93 #Pentagon 

Work is progressing on reconstructing the Norwalk Fairfield Avenue Bridge, which had to be demolished in early May. A significant milestone has been reached by the team with the erection of the steel framework over I-95. #ctdot #bridgeconstruction #steelwork #ycc #ctconstruction

From 1999-2002, Yonkers revitalized the Williamsburg Bridge, a crucial link between Manhattan and Brooklyn since 1903. With a $215 million budget from the NYCDOT, the project included replacing north roadways, pedestrian footwalks, bikeways, and major structural elements, alongside installing new lighting and drainage systems. The project involved: 🏗 500 tradesmen (peak manpower) 🏗 200-300 ironworkers 🏗 8 crawlers & hydraulic cranes 🏗 Custom deck panel erection equipment An interesting project feat was assembling 25 Pedestrian Bridge spans in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and transporting them via barge across the East River to Manhattan. The combined efforts led to the early completion of the inner and outer roadways, earning Yonkers a $10 million incentive!  #YCCthrowback #tbt #WilliamsburgBridge #BridgeConstruction #NYCDOT #Brooklyn #Manhattan #YCC #BuildingQualitySince1945

#YCCProjectUpdate – Our Holland Tunnel Project Team has made significant progress these past few months! The project team recently installed a truss atop the Holland Tunnel Toll Booth building. The building was jacked to engage with the new truss which allowed the removal of the columns underneath on the ground level to have 5 conjunctive lanes of traffic going into the tunnel. The new truss is the main structural support system that helps distribute load throughout the structure. The truss was set on the existing column after they were reinforced along with the reinforcement of the existing footings. In addition, the truss was covered with standing seam panels with the epic bronze color to match the existing plaza colors, so the truss blended with the roof and showed that it had been part of the original building. #HollandTunnel #NYCconstruction #NJconstruction #BuildingQualitySince1945

Travel back to 1945 with us, when Yonkers Contracting first decided to venture outside of Yonkers to West Point, NY. This project involved clearing the United States Military Academy at West Point rifle range and installing oil tanks. Yonkers tackled the challenge of excavating and removing substantial amounts of rock to install reinforced concrete foundations for these oil tanks. Rock excavation was already a familiar task for the company back then and remains so to this day. #FlashBackFriday #yccThrowback #BuildingQualitySince1945 #RockSolidBuilders #excavation

Last week we celebrated Construction Safety Week with this year's focus on "Value Every Voice" (Encourage - Listen - Empower) and Mental Health. Construction is both physically and mentally demanding.  As contractors we have the responsibility to acknowledge the challenges our workers face, and create an environment where safety is a priority. Safety Week is a call to action, an opportunity to show each other what it means to be safe and why it’s important to each of us. It was a chance to renew our commitment to each other to create a safe and supported work environment.  #constructionsafetyweek2024 #YCC #mentalhealthawareness #safetyfirst
