Universal Steeplejack, Inc was called to perform some general maintenance to the façade on the outside of the 98th floor by rigging from the 103rd floor of the tallest building in New York City.
Because of the radio transmitters in this location, we could only work from 12 AM to 4:45 AM.
We appreciate the cooperation of the building manager and his staff, the building engineers, CANY and the radio transmission support team. Each were expeditious and a valuable partner in getting this difficult job done well. |

Aruba
The Wyndham Hotel in Aruba has changed ownership and is now called The Aruba Resort, Spa & Casino

October, 21 2006 - We were called to the site to repair the aircraft warning light at the top of the flagpole, which happens to be the highest point in Aruba . We provided a complete inspection of all mountings and other components of the flagpole. The high wind condition in Aruba prompts an annual inspection and service. My wife Theresa provided me with fantastic ground support.
Somebody has to do it. |
