2018 Portfolio Project

Chevron Project

In 2018, Trumbull had the incredible opportunity to contribute to the installation of new subway arches in New York City, replacing the century-old structures that had served the city for over a hundred years. This project was a testament to our commitment to quality and precision in every casting we produce.

We documented our entire casting process from start to finish, capturing each stage—from initial design and material selection to the final installation. It was an honor to play a role in preserving the city's infrastructure while introducing modern solutions that will stand the test of time.

2019 Portfolio Project

Manhattan Project

Spanning the East River in New York City, the Manhattan Bridge was one of the last suspension bridges built to connect Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Completed in 1901, it has since become an iconic part of the city's landscape. One of its most distinctive features is the four large decorative globes that adorn the bridge’s towers.

After more than a century, the Department of Transportation determined that the globes required replacement. Trumbull Foundry was honored to contribute to the restoration efforts, playing a key role in reproducing these historic elements and preserving the bridge’s timeless grandeur.
