Alliance Specialty Trades
Originally built in 1913 for retail shops, the 19 story North American Building was renovated into condominiums. This involved Alliance Specialty Trades doing some misc concrete work prior to pouring 1 1/2" average of Rapid Floor Plus over CSM. The CSM was placed over thick poly which was placed over contaminated cinder concrete. A large challenge for Alliance was the extremely tight city site, with only a 15-foot alley interspersed with fire escapes, the means of delivery and equipment logistics was carefully coordinated.
