Owen Steel was selected by the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on May 8, 2007 to supply, fabricate and erect the steel for the construction of the World Trade Center Memorial & Museum in New York City. The steel — about 580 metric tons — was manufactured right here in Columbia by men and women who put their mark on the jumbo steel columns that support the national tribute to the innocent victims of the attacks.
“Owen Steel has built many landmark projects, but nothing has inspired our workforce quite like the opportunity to put their hands on the steel for the World Trade Center Memorial,” says David Zalesne, president of Owen Steel. The Memorial offers reflection on the past and will ensure that future generations will never forget the events of 9/11.
