National September 11 Memorial and Museum – New York

While all of our projects are important, Owen Steel is particularly honored to be the steel contractor for the landmark Memorial and Museum at Ground Zero, dedicated to the memories of the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. With the start of steel construction in September 2008, Owen Steel is working around-the-clock with the design and construction teams from the NS11MM Foundation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to solve the unique, complex building challenges of the site. Owen Steel has also sponsored and supported two national steel beam tours, allowing thousands of people all over the country to sign beams in connection with the construction of the Memorial and Museum. The steel for the project has received considerable media coverage, including articles in the New York Times and other local and regional newspapers, along with TV and radio coverage about Owen Steel.
