Company donates fencing to disaster site

Real Estate Weekly, Oct 31, 2001

National Construction Rentals has donated their time, labor and materials to the World Trade Center and the Pentagon tragedies. John Shevchik, district manager and Barry Goldberg, preferred account representative, along with the efforts of 20 of the best fence installers in the industry, worked tirelessly throughout many long days and nights to fence off one of the worst tragedies in the history of the United States.

Working through the mayor's office and the Mayors Office of Emergency Management, Shevchik and Goldberg coordinated the efforts of 10 fence crews in New York to assist the New York City Police Department in securing and protecting the WTC site.

The World Trade Center site used approximately 10,000 lineal feet of fence which was installed during several 24 hour marathons starting the day after the attack. The fence is used to block off streets to keep safe pedestrians who pass by that area on a daily basis. The fence also serves as a blockade for the NYPD and National Guard to keep the site secure from unauthorized entry.

The fencing at the Pentagon, is in excess of 2,500 lineal feet, and serves as a crowd control mechanism as well as an additional checkpoint blockade.
