A Tree Grows in Pittsburgh
Somerset Steel Erection Company recently erected two of these steel trees outside the new corporate offices of American Eagle Outfitters in Pittsburgh, Pa. The field installation was performed by Somerset Steel representatives who brought all the equipment needed to complete the intricate design and the final placement of the trees at AEO headquarters.
Lincoln Contracting & Equipment detailed and fabricated the trees for artist, Kathleen Mulcahy and Ron Desmett. The company’s design draftsmen used state-of-the-art TEKLA 3D software to model the artists’ rendition of the “moving” branches. One tree measures 40 feet tall with a diameter of 25 feet and the other tree stands at 25 feet with a 13 foot diameter. Both trees are made of structural steel beams that were painted to match the building’s exterior.
