The Port of Valleyfield and the One World Trade Center

The Port of Valleyfield was mandated to ship sections of the 408-foot spire that now crowns the summit of the One World Trade Center building in New York City.

On November 16, 2012, at 5:30 p.m., the Witte 1407 barge departed Valleyfield for the Port of New York, carrying 9 of the 18 sections that would form the spire atop the One World Trade Center building in New York City. After three days of loading these massive parts, measuring between ten and 25 feet in length and weighing between thirteen and 55 tonnes each, were attached to the barge for the two-week journey.

Loading of the barge was carried out by about twenty Desgagnés Logistik inc employeesThe cargo was strapped down and lifted using a crane, placed on the barge, and secured.

Construction of the One World Trade Center tower, a 104-floor glass and steel structure, began in 2006. This imposing building replaces the twin towers that were destroyed during the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
