WBZ/CBS retained Bowdoin Construction Corp. as Construction Manager to build this new high definition television transmission facility at the base of one of it's 1,400 foot transmission towers. Pre-construction responsibilities included working with the design team to assist in the evaluation of potential building foot prints, value engineering of building systems and materials as well as permitting and schedule items. The building structure included a steel frame with masonry and metal panel walls. A noteworthy feature of this project required the construction of a lightening protection grid as well as a galvanized structural steel and mesh ice canopy to protect the building from ice falling off of the tower. One of the challenges Bowdoin overcame on this project was working on site directly below the tower, which was being increased in height by approximately 120 feet. Careful coordination was maintained throughout the project between Bowdoin's Safety Coordinator, Project Superintendent, and the Contractor for the tower antenna expansion. Bowdoin's hard-hat policy was strictly enforced for all workers and visitors to this highly secure job site.
