CONSTRUCTION ADVANCES AT 2500 LEAGUE ISLAND BOULEVARD

Construction at 2500 League Island Boulevard hit a milestone this week as precast panels - fabricated by Universal Concrete Products - began to be delivered and installed at the site. Structuring a building that is nearly the size of 3 football fields, each of the 160 slabs are 41 feet high by 12 feet wide - and weigh 32 tons each!
