Restoration work on the Woolworth building has advanced with the installation of roof decking. Crews replaced the trusses and fastened new decking with precision nail guns, completing the process in just two days. The roof is now prepared to receive a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) waterproofing system, engineered with a quarter-inch slope per foot to ensure proper drainage and prevent water ponding.

Crews install decking on the Woolworth Building after the trusses are set in place.
