New York City Marathon Displays

SGH evaluated the design for several aluminum-framed display pieces along the race route, including the Mile Marker, Scenic Tower, Wayfinding Cube, Clock Tower, Finish Tower A, Finish Tower B, and the 10 ft by 70 ft finish wall.

Our work included the analysis of the aluminum-framed structures and the design of concrete ballast to ensure that the pieces would not slide or overturn under wind loads. 

Highlights of our work includes the following:

• Review of the proposed design documentation
• Analysis of the aluminum-frame and connections to withstand wind loads
• Proposed design modifications, as necessary
• Prepared signed and sealed structural drawings showing the general framing layout, aluminum tube sizes, connection details, and ballast details
