PROJECTS
Here is a view that will be admired by most visitors to Philadelphia. Crescent Iron Works fabricated the stanchions that support the bell as well as the steel plates within the curved walls that protect the bell.
Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates designed this three-sided structure with a granite base that transitions to stainless steel plates in the shape of sails from a ship, supported by a hidden structural pipe frame.
Designed by artist Walter Hood, the Double Consciousness Monument is located at Princeton University's plaza on Washtington Road. The 39 ft. tall monument is supported by galvanized steel framing fabricated by Crescent Iron Works.
Over 1,000 10" diameter pipe bollards were fabricated for installation at Citizens Bank Park. The caps were installed after the bollards were set in concrete and filled.
