Little Island Park turned a former pier into a 2.4-acre public space over the Hudson River that includes 132 giant concrete pots planted with full sized trees that connect via walkways to each other and to an outdoor performance venue.

该项目的重要团队成员由Barry Diller和Diane von Furstenberg的基础资助，是Weeks Marine，负责建造现货码头和平坦的码头元件。海洋承包商东北地区经理亚当·瓦拉赫（Adam D.混凝土桩的长度从112到260英尺不等，重达75吨，将锅放在上面。

The piles had to be perfect because the pots were made first, “meaning any issues with pile location could cause schedule and large financial impacts in order to redesign and refabricate a pot,” he said. Weeks was also responsible for assembly and installation of the precast pots, Wallach says.

瓦拉赫说，大型杯子是由单独的预制组件制成的，并在奥尔巴尼组装，从那里装载到几周的海洋霍珀驳船上，并在哈德逊河上运送到纽约港口进行安装。每周设计的装配框架可根据每个锅的独特配置进行自定义。

他说，每个重量为35至100吨的锅都被举起一个单元，并将其放置在现场的桩上。

除了获得ENR的区域和国家奖项外，Wallach说，Little Island是“我们在行业活动和其他贸易展览新利luck会上遇到的同事最喜欢的话题”。
