Vent Plant – Rehabilitation of Lafayette Avenue and Rockwell Place
- Client: New York City Transit
- Location: Brooklyn, NY
- Project Value: $48,978,000
- Time Frame: 40 months
Description:
This project involved the construction a new underground tunnel ventilation facility for New York City Transit. A new four-fan vent plant was constructed along with a substation enclosure. There was a significant amount of work on the tracks, as Judlau had to isolate each of the individual tunnels through the use of over 180 remotely controlled dampers. Judlau also built a brand new substation structure for future development.
This project required that a secant pile wall be installed, as the excavation took place adjacent to a 12 story masonry building. The work involved a large open cut excavation approximately 500 feet long, in excess of 40 feet deep and from curb line to curb line. The work site is located in a busy and densely-populated residential and commercial area.
