TSX (Times Square Crossing

Times Square Crossing (TSX) also known as 1568 Broadway is a mixed-use facility in the heart of New York’s Times Square. The budget for the project is USD $2B. The project involved the dismantling of an existing reinforced concrete tower, from the 56th to 16th floor, raising of the historic landmark Palace Theater, and the re-erection to the 56th floor of a Double Tree luxury hotel and retail tower from a 16th floor podium.
 
The schedule was complex, as it coordinated preservation of the existing Palace Theater as it was raised thirty-feet in tandem with the demolition of a tower above. The location of the work required close management with the City of New York, DOB, DOT, LPC, and other public agencies.
 
About half-way through take-down of the tower, COVID restrictions and infections created resource and supply line issues that caused a long delay.

SUNY MART HOSPITAL

SUNY MART, or Stonybrook University New York Medical Arts Research Training included a research facility and bed tower. Major medical equipment included a cyclotron, PET and CAT scans, and an egg farm. The project team was challenged because neither owner nor contractor had ever built a hospital, and thus were beset with encumbrances that inevitably delated turnover.
 
 

BROOKLYN BATTERY TUNNEL REHAB

The Battery Tunnel had been gutted by Hurricane Sandy, in 2012. All of the tiles had delaminated, and far worse, most of the cabling and electronic equipment was destroyed or barely serviceable. In 2013, I prepared a remediation and retrofit schedule with the engineers, which included new flood gates.
 
The numerous low-voltage and PLC systems all had to be integrated with various headhouses in Brooklyn. The biggest challenge was that the tunnel always had an active tube in each direction. Workers were also in confined work areas in the intake and exhaust plenum.
 

HUNTS POINT DIGESTOR FACILTY (238)

This seemingly benign anaerobic digestor facility (waste treatment) is a complex puzzle of pipe galleries, gas storage, pumps, and chemical plants, that required specific knowledge of the system assembly and operation, which the designing engineer advised as to the sequence of installations. The tank cover facets  had to be welded from the inside.
 
The facility was part of a requirement for local developers to add thousands of housing units in the area, as all NYC’s plants are frequently near or over capacity – especially in storms.
