Machines For WTC Curtain Wall Selected
By: Doug CaverlyFriday, September 3rd, 2010 at 5:09 pm
When construction reaches a point at which the Freedom Tower’s curtain wall can be worked on, the company responsible for it will be ready and waiting. This week, Benson Industries picked two special machines to help with the installation process.
The 25E Light machines are manufactured by Valla S.p.A., an Italian company, and this marks the first North American sale of them, making the development rather cutting-edge.
Indeed, the whole line of machines was only launched in January, so there aren’t yet many of them anywhere.
Antonio Valla, the owner and CEO of Valla S.p.A., stated as a result, “Having just opened our North American office in Los Angeles this year we’re proud that one of our first sales allows Valla to play a part in the rebirth of the World Trade Center.”
It looks like the 25E Light machines will be more than up to the task. They’re capable of lifting 2.25 tons, but can be operated indoors and move a load at a rate of 19.6 feet per minute. What’s more, they’ve got 223 feet of usable wire, and so shouldn’t need to be repositioned too often.
It should be a fun day when we get to see Benson Industries begin to work with the new machines.

This webpage has so a lot great details on it, I verify on it everyday. I wish other websites spent as a lot work as this one does generating data legible to readers like myself. I recommend this write-up to all of my facebook friends. This webpage will make some massive passive profit I’m positive. I hope my site does along with this one, it refers to jewelry consumers houston.

I am very impressed with Mr. Smith’s erudite, well informed and persuasive arguments. It is obvious that he is a person of high stature and responsibilities.

wow, that passage by KLINTON was extremley hard to follow…and by the way, its a memorial to honor the dead. 3000+ people died in the attack,the worst attack on US soil. that deserves a memorial or at least a monument. the process to build these freedom towers is actually very fast when you take into consideration that these new towers are state of the art. we’re talking about the safest tall structure in the world. it will also be the tallest in the US. BELIEVE me when i say state of the art. the base of the tower lobby in essentially a double fortified bunker and the support beams are made from the most advanced durable construction materials around. the whole tower will consist of an intricate system of defensive features and precautionary measures like back up power to keep the elevators running unlike what happened in 9/11. IT IS BEING built well. this isnt some cheap highrise done in about 3 years. this is gonna be the BEST SAFEST TOWER IN THE WORLD.

Aren’t there any American companies that build these machines?

Hey, guys… Did you know it’s already being built? A skyscraper that’s to be opened in three years, almost two, is already about 1/3 finished?
I don’t get why people say ‘they’re not gonna build it’..they’re doing it NOW.

Why does something need to be built there anyways anything at all why dont you put the money to better use I mean if there going to waste all this money on a bunch of shaby looking buildings that looks like something off of stargate atlantis than why not give everyone an apartment for free in the united states and a car and free gas too the Freedom Tower ya I’ll believe it when I see it they aint going to rebuild anything the goverment is to busy rebuilding Baghdad and Kabul after we leveled it you know the terrorists if there so holy and just like there preaching then why the hell don’t they pay to have them rebuilt they seem to have plently of money to throw around, but that’s not going to happen right cause there full of shit we need to do is stop giving them so much of are money in rebuilding when they just turn around and take a shit on it, and on us!
