New York City Fulton and Dey Street Subway Stations

GFRC Ceiling Panels in NY City Subway Keep Commuters Connected

The Fulton Centre in downtown Manhattan has been abuzz with renovations and construction work for several years now. This is all part of the $1.4 billion project to revamp the Fulton Street New York City subway station. The aim of this massive project is to improve access to and connections among the New York City Subway, Fulton Street, Dey Street Passageway and the new World Trade Center building, as well as Chambers Street, Cortlandt Street, and the PATH World Trade Center station. This project involved construction of additional underground passageways and access points. Of course, wherever you have passageways you need ceilings, and this is where the expertise and experience of Stromberg Architectural has proven invaluable. In 2011 and 2013 Stromberg supplied hundreds of GFRC ceiling panels which now line the concourse and mezzanine levels of several subway stations, including the Dey and Fulton Street Stations.

Trust GFRC to do it in record time!

The 2013 project was completed on a tight time schedule that allowed former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg to take the first ride through the stations before his term ended. GFRC was the perfect material to use due to its extraordinary versatility and lightweight, combined with exceptional strength. Stromberg’s GFRC ceiling panels are tough enough to handle America’s busiest rapid transit line and one of the world’s largest public transportation systems. The panels are pre-fabricated which provides a smoother and quicker installation.

GFRC is all about quality and safety

The Stromberg team designed and manufactured the ceiling panels using glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) which is extremely durable, low-maintenance and fire-resistant. Access panels were engineered with locks as well as gas hinges designed to protect maintenance workers by preventing panels from swinging open too quickly. Street-level perforated panels were coated with co-polyester translucent panels in order to protect transit users from the elements while still allowing sunlight to filter into the station.

What’s so special about Stromberg’s GFRC?

Wyoming GFRC Projects

Wyoming Area GFRC Projects

Western Region GFRC Projects: Fendi, Las Vegas, Nevada

Of all the states that make up the great country of America, Wyoming is the one that is home to the fewest people. With its vast areas of wilderness and park lands, it’s quite accurate to describe parts of Wyoming as the “Wild West” even today.

Wyoming has its fair share of remarkable architecture, particularly considering its small population. A Corinthian-style state capitol as well as more modest historic homes, hotels, and stores are all found in the Cowboy State.

To add another notable work to the state, or to preserve the work of an architect that came before, consider using glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC). Its versatility allows for seamless repairs when it is matched to an existing structure, as well as new looks, shapes, and textures that are limited only by the imagination.

Elements For Your Wyoming GFRC Project

Stromberg Architectural has the capacity to complete Wyoming GFRC projects of any size and scope. We can supply dozens of GFRC elements to our clients in Wyoming and other parts of the United States. Using molds, we can create a one-of-a-kind GFRC dome or produce hundreds of matching glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) wall caps. Some other selections from our product line include:

GFRC entryways
GFRC pergolas
GFRC railing and GFRC balustrade
GFRC signage
GFRC quoins
GFRC fountains and GFRC fountain pools

Alaska GFRC Projects

Alaska Area GFRC Projects

Pacific Region GFRC Projects: Medford Library, Medford, Oregon

Although Alaska is the largest state in the country, this part of the Great White North is also the least densely populated. Temperatures in parts of Alaska can fall to below -60 degrees Fahrenheit during the long winter months. The buildings in Alaska–like the people–need to be rugged to thrive.
The GFRC used by Stromberg Architectural is durable enough to be installed outdoors year-round, yet attractive enough to grace the interiors of the most luxurious homes, hotels, and resorts around.

Alaska GFRC Services Provided by Stromberg Architectural

Our Alaska GFRC services include both new construction and GFRC renovation/restoration.
Stromberg can help clients in Alaska create or improve an exterior or interior design by crafting totally new elements in an array of shapes, textures, and colors. Choose from literally dozens of products, including GFRC security bollards, GFRC benches, GFRC fireplaces, and GFRC signage. We aren’t exaggerating when we say we have the largest selection of GFRC on Earth.
If time and the harsh weather conditions of Alaska have damaged a beloved community building, business, or home, Stromberg can use GFRC to achieve a seamless match for a variety of materials. In this way, we can perform GFRC restorations or repairs that blend in with the rest of the structure. Our GFRC restoration process also allows us to preserve as much of the original structure as possible.

Advantages of Using GFRC for Your Next Project in Alaska

Suitable for outdoor use, even in areas with severe weather and freeze-thaw cycles
Will not rust, rot, or corrode when exposed to moisture
Can be placed in coastal regions of Alaska since it can withstand exposure to salt spray
Many possible looks and styles to create the effect you want

Stromberg Architectural is Here to Help, Wherever You Are in Alaska. We Provide:

Anchorage GFRC, Juneau gfrc, GFRC Fairbanks, College GFRC, Sitka GFRC, Ketchikan GFRC, Knik GFRC, Kenai GFRC, Lakes GFRC, Kodiak GFRC, and more.

We also provide free initial consultations to help all potential clients make an informed decision. To arrange yours, call us at (903)-454-0904 or fill out the form on the contact page of our site.

New Mexico GFRC Projects

New Mexico Area GFRC

Western Region GFRC: Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Colorado

A large proportion of the population in this land of mountains, plains, and deserts is of Spanish and Native American descent. It’s not just the land forms and the people here that are intriguing, though. The “Land of Enchantment” also has architectural works that are quite different from anything else you’ll find in the United States. Many buildings are constructed in the unmistakable Pueblo style, and have a distinct Southwest flair.

The original Pueblo homes were built from bricks made of a mixture of grass and clay, but today advanced composites such as the GFRC used by Stromberg Architectural can be used to achieve a very similar look. If you choose to partner with Stromberg, we will work closely with you during your GFRC New Mexico project, taking the time to thoroughly understand your vision so the end result will be perfect down to every last detail.

Louisiana GFRC Projects

Louisiana Area GFRC Projects

South Area GFRC Projects: George Bush Airport, Houston, Texas

Creole cuisine, Mardi Gras, and jazz…Louisiana is a state that has a spirit and vibe all its own. Its larger metropolitan areas have skyscrapers, sports arenas, and shopping plazas, but plenty of swamps and mysterious bayous can still be found in the Pelican State. Unfortunately, Louisiana also has the distinction of being where several devastating hurricanes made landfall.

When you need architectural elements with all the uniqueness and flair of Louisiana itself that also have the robustness to stand up to the state’s sometimes harsh climate and extreme weather events, Stromberg is your best source for affordable GFRC. We can use molds to achieve an almost endless array of looks, and you’ll also get GFRC that has stood up to category-5 hurricane wind speeds in the lab and in the real world.
