skyscraper construction

Erecting tall buildings

The process of building very tall buildings, typically involving steel or concrete frames, deep foundations, and specialized engineering for wind resistance and vertical transportation.

Skyscraper construction requires coordination of complex systems—elevators, utilities, curtain walls—and often proceeds floor by floor from a central core.

The skyscraper construction downtown has been going on for two years.
