Описание: The Hearst Tower is a building with the addresses of 300 West 57th Street and 959 Eighth Avenue, near Columbus Circle, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA. It is the world headquarters of Hearst Communications, housing the numerous publications and communications companies of the media conglomerate under one roof, including, among others, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Good Housekeeping and Seventeen. It had the height of 182 metres | 597 ft and 46 floors. The building cost $500 Million. The construction started in April 30, 2003 and completed in 2006. The layout of the Hearst Tower is such that the facade is very jagged. Plans for a rig, designed by Tractel-Swingstage, to hold window cleaners, took 3 years and 3 million dollars because of the building's concave windows, referred to as "bird's mouths". The resulting design incorporates "a rectangular steel box the size of a Smart car, supporting a 40 foot mast and hydraulic boom arm attached by six strands of wire rope to a telescopic cleaning basket, and housing a computer that monitors 67 electromechanical safety sensors and switches". The device was installed in April 2005 on 420 feet of elevated steel track looping the roof of the tower. On June 12, 2013, two window cleaners were trapped on the window cleaning crane partway down from the top of the tower. The unique zigzag grid on the building's exterior and "bird's mouth''
divots on its corners necessitated development of a special scaffold for window washers.
