Crane Day at the Philadelphia Building for Roof Top Unit Replacements!

Things are looking UP at 1315 Walnut Street’s Philadelphia Building with a crane onsite for the past two weekends. 🏗🙌🏗 Out with the old and in with the new! Steel was craned and set to prep for the replacement of the exterior mechanical units last weekend. To finish July out strong, the early bird really did get the worm...a 5am street closure meant the crane was assembled and ready to roll by 6:45am. A total of 24 roof top units were set in just 2.75 hours. 💪😳💪 We're big on efficiency at MBC, but it's always S-Q-P for us - Safety, then Quality, then Production. All in all when the job is complete, MBC will have replaced just about 100 units (interior/exterior) for all 19 floors. We love Crane Day @ MBC! 👷‍♂️😍👷‍♀️
