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
