Eli Gottlieb Discusses Structural Engineering on Concrete Conversations Podcast

Eli Gottlieb, co-leader of Thornton Tomasetti’s New York Metropolitan region, was featured on the Concrete Conversations NYC podcast presented by the Concrete Industry Board of New York City. 

In the episode, “Concrete Legends – Building the NYC Skyline,” Eli shares firsthand insights into the engineering challenges behind some of the city’s most complex structures.

Joined by industry peer Fortunato Orlando, Eli discusses projects such as 270 Park Avenue and Hudson Yards, along with the realities of building in a dense urban environment, where logistics, pressure, and innovation shape every decision. 

The conversation also explores emerging approaches in structural engineering and construction, including post-tensioned concrete, concrete core-first construction strategies, and evolving green concrete guidelines.
