Project Description
Connected to the already installed water system shaft to the west at Hudson Street, a series of 48" and 36" diameter steel trunk mains are being installed below Worth Street, to become part of one of the most complex water systems in the world.
Extensive Reconstruction work along MTA subway tunnels
As part of this project, BuildersRig Construction Inc has also been tasked with replacing aged water mains, sewers, street lights, traffic signals, curbs, sidewalks, roadway construction plus private utilities throughout. The extensive limits of the project traverse five MTA subway tunnels actively serving 13 subway lines. This is a unique challenge, along with coordinating work around active utility facilities, including natural gas, steam, electric, telephone and fiber lines.
Reconstruction Safety
During this project, BuildersRig Construction Inc successfully and safely maintains access to buildings, driveways, businesses, subway entrances and other various needs of the surrounding community.
Roadway Construction combined with complex Utility Infrastructure
BuildersRig Construction Inc extensive experience working within heavily congested utility locations, as well as our ability to perform gas and steam work directly, provides invaluable benefit to both the project’s performance and schedule. Overall, the project plans to install 4,500 LF of steel trunk water main, 6,500 LF of distribution water main, 4,800 CY of concrete road base and 20,000 SY of asphalt pavement.
