March 5, 2026 • F.W. Woolworth Co.
Fresh concrete is being troweled around the steel frame of the 277-gallon grease trap inside the ground floor of the F.W. Woolworth Co. building. This finishing step creates a smooth, reinforced collar around the slightly raised lid while sealing and securing the frame in place. Proper consolidation of the concrete strengthens the perimeter, reduces the risk of cracking and ensures the system performs reliably for future restaurant tenants.
With the frame locked into place and the surrounding floor finished cleanly around it, the system is fully prepared for reliable, long-term commercial use.
