At topping off. Floor 104 (100) is the last floor in the main building. Floor 105 (101) is in the mast.

^The roof slab is marked as "105", cooling tower catwalks are numbered as "106", the communications platforms take number 107, 108 & 109 and the internal platform at the spire takes the 110th. All of these aren't real floors, the roof never counts as a real one and the other ones lack of slab to be categorized as real floors.

The structural columns stop tapering above the roof slab (1334'8") but the curtain wall face stop tapering once it reaches the 1368' mark with the stainless steel parapet.

Now that we have established when the rooftop will top out, can anybody give a projection as to when the skin cladding will reach the top?

December 2012. As mentioned by the Port Authority.

Since people are asking so many questions and the same questions keep popping up forever I decided that I will link to the Q&A by the Port Authority. Whenever you people have questions look it up here and it will be answered. Don't ask questions that are answered here. Only ask questions that have no answers from now on out okay people?

Wow cool, didn't realize they were going to install the antenna so soon! Sounds like they will start on that soon after the topping out occurs. That will be quite a site to see! I guess they will lift the antenna segments up by crane..So the antenna will be installed long before the glass cladding reaches the top, it sounds like.

Installation of the antenna will be pretty interesting to follow... Sections are so heavy that they're going to be transported by ship!

When the last floor is done. They will put it on for concrete work.

Poor choice of words, boat sounds more realistic, it will need to cross the St. Lawrence River to get to New York... heaviest section weights ~54 tons, DCM will need to use both cranes to lift this single section; the mast alone will weight about 400 tons, representing the 0.008% of the total structural steel.

Roadcruiser1 · #**20879** Posted **Mar 5, 2012, 3:49 AM**

That interesting to know Otie. I remember reading that the steel of the original World Trade Center were brought in by tugboats. So in some way history is repeating itself even for the new World Trade Center.
