nections that are in place to help keep the roof up. Enter Cast Connex, Toronto, and eventually its chosen


partner for the project: Bradken, Kansas City, Missouri. Around February 2014, Cast Connex, a supplier of cast-


ings and forgings with engineering and design capabilities, was contacted by steel fabricator Canam Group (Saint- Georges, Quebec, Canada). After a 2014 request from the New York City Design Commission, the USTA and the outside builders were tasked with creating the connections for the structure base that were strong and also attractive, since they are visible to spectators entering the arena. Cast Connex was asked to deliver a custom-designed


product, with the connections and braces in place by November 2014. “From a structural perspective, the entire weight and


lateral system of the roof goes through these connections,” said Carlos de Oliveira, principal, Cast Connex. “Te con- nections are also important from an architectural perspec- tive, given that these connections are the only location where spectators can interact directly with the new roof structure.”
