The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) had occupied the entire 106th Floor at 2 World Trade Center. ABS relocated the majority of its headquarters staff to Houston, Texas, while 22 staffers remained but occupied space on a lower floor, the 91st, in the other tower. Those corporate twists of fate would spare all their lives in the horrible terrorist attack on 9/11.

Nelson Construction had handled the construction requirements for ABS, both at the World Trade Center and new offices at 45 Eisenhower Drive, Paramus, New Jersey.

"Nelson Construction came through for ABS at a time when we really needed them. After the WTC disaster, we found ourselves squeezed into a small field office. Nelson performed a complete overhaul of a larger space in Paramus. Everything went smoothly and every little detail was taken care of. They moved swiftly to get us into the new offices in a short period of time with more than satisfactory results."

"A major concern we worry about is how general contractors are going to work with our people to keep our stores open. In the case of Nelson Construction, their superintendents did an excellent job communicating with our stores. They were fantastic!"
