Project Description

BuildersRig Construction Inc  extensive experience working within heavily congested utility locations, as well as our ability to perform gas and steam work directly, was critical to the early completion of this complex project.

Overall, the project installed 3,400 LF of distribution water main, 1,990 CY of concrete road base and 6,200 SY of asphalt pavement.

Meeting Challenges of Construction Projects near MTA Transit Hub

The limits of the project ran directly above an active MTA subway tunnel and was directly adjacent to the MTA’s new Fulton Street Transit Hub. This challenged BuildersRig Construction Inc  to maintain access to one of the City’s largest subway stations while it was being completely rebuilt. BuildersRig Construction Inc  met this challenge along with coordinating work around active utility facilities, including natural gas, steam, electric, telephone and fiber lines.

Maintaining Safe community access during reconstruction

BuildersRig Construction Inc  also successfully and safely maintained access to buildings, driveways, businesses, subway entrances and other various needs of the surrounding community, including its proximity to Wall Street and the WTC Memorial and Museum.
