NYCDDC, HWQ1156 161st Street Area Reconstruction, Springfield Gardens, Queens, NY. Principal-In-Charge. HDR was retained by New York City Design and Development Corporation to provide Resident Engineering Inspection Services for the 161st Street Area in Queens. The 161st Street area in Springfield Gardens is a stable residential community in close proximity to heavy commercial and industrial areas including Kennedy Airport to the west. The existing project area had numerous low lying locations where ponding occurred due to a lack of drainage facilities in the area. The construction of a new box culvert along Baisley Boulevard from Long Street to Rockaway Boulevard allowed for a major drainage improvement for this area. These blocks required major trenches and ultimately the integrity of the existing pavement was compromised. All the streets in the area have numerous utility trenches and poor cross sections. Additionally, the curb reveal was minimal and some streets have no curbs. Thus all the streets in the grid were reconstructed to insure that the area will drain effectively. The objective of this project was to install a new storm drainage system, upgrade sanitary sewers and water mains, and upgrade the streets in 161st Street Area in Springfield Gardens to a state of good repair and of a design that accommodates the residential character of the area. The project was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. (2006, $9.3M)

NYCDDC, HWQ631B Reconstruction of the Streets in the Somerville Area, Queens, NY. Principal-In-Charge. HDR conducted a grading and drainage study for the New York City Department of Design and Construction in the Somerville Area of Queens to address improvements to surface drainage, storm water and sanitary sewers as part of an area-wide infrastructure upgrade that also included traffic engineering and schematic design. The Somerville area is a stable residential community comprised of one and two-family residential homes, houses of worship, schools, and neighboring retail shops. Main thoroughfares within the project area include B. 67th Street, Beach Channel Drive and Thursby Avenue. Major box culvert outfalls to Jamaica Bay located on Thursby Avenue to the west and Almeda Avenue to the east drain the entire project area. This project study involves the development of profiles and street grades for approximately 200 block faces. Two preliminary test cases were prepared to compare the impact of raising the grades in the neighborhood by first applying a 4-foot depth of cover over the top of new pipes and box culverts. A second 3-foot cover test was prepared to mitigate the grading effects on private properties. First floor elevations were analyzed in comparison to the new grades developed. The impact of raising the grade on streetscape trees with significant caliper was also investigated. (2006, $25M)

NYCDDC, Owl's Head Storm and Sanitary Sewers, Brooklyn, NY. Principal-In-Charge. The Owls Head Project, Area A is split between a busy business district on 86th Street and 23rd Avenue and residential neighborhood for 82nd Street and Harway Avenue consisting of single and multi family homes. The most trafficked road in the area is 86th Street that serves as an east/west route and access the numerous businesses area along 86th Street. These streets underwent excavation and trench work employing sheeting and cross bracing. The most difficult portion of the project was the water main and sanitary sewer work done on 86th Street which was performed with minimal impact on occupied businesses. The new sanitary sewer work on 86th Street included the installation of new 10 and 12 sanitary sewer (trench excavation ranging from 11 to 14 feet below existing street grade) underneath the existing New York City Transit overhead subway structure. This work was particularly difficult in the areas of the existing subway stations at Bay Parkway and 25th Avenue where there is only 12-4 clearance under the subway which experienced no settlement on other damage to the structures. At the start of the project, an extensive sewer video program was done on 86th street that included the removal of major grease blockages from the existing lines. Based upon these sewer videos, 10 of the 14 blocks of proposed replacements were eliminated, greatly reducing the impact of this project on the local businesses along 86th Street. The elimination of the 10 blocks of sanitary sewer replacement also saved the City significant funding in sewer costs and TA force account. (2007, $12M)

HDR performed studies in support of an update to the 2000 Preliminary Design Investigation for the Somerville Area (generally bounded by Jamaica Bay to the north, Beach Channel Drive to the south between B. 72nd and B. 59th Streets) in Far Rockaway Queens, New York. HDR scope of work was specifically tailored to four tasks: an update of the schematic design, a traffic study, a grading and drainage study and a survey of significant trees within the right-of-way. The 2000 schematic design was updated to account for changes corresponding to the 2030 projected traffic volumes from significant traffic generators, specifically the Averene mixed-use development immediately to the south of the project area. The traffic study modeled the entire area using Synchro traffic analysis software and was delivered as a separate technical report to NYCDDC.

HDR learned that the previous city construction project in the area had significant problems meeting grades at the property line. The grading/drainage study was developed as an assessment of the impacts on private properties relative to changes in grade and improvements to storm water hydraulics. (2004, $15M)

NYCDDC/NYCDOT, Reconstruction of 32nd Street with the Installation of a New Step Street,, Queens, NY. Principal-In-Charge. In addition to the reconstruction of the projects surface and underground infrastructure, the scope required the development and design of a treatment to address a over ten feet grade change at the midpoint of the 32nd Street blockface. The project was advanced in two continuous phases: Phase I, Project Development Identification, HDR identified opportunities to develop a step street treatment, consisting of stairs/landings and ADA compliant ramps to traverse the elevation differential. A switchback layout with a step street footprint, which optimized street operations at the lower and upper dead ends, was conceptualized. Phase 2, Final Design, the switchback evolved into a softer layout with the insertion of two landscaped viewing areas within the integrated ramp/stair network. The projects final design was a successful teamwork collaboration between architectural and engineering disciplines to create a unique award winning design. To support the architectural treatment the structural engineers successfully integrated retaining wall and secant wall details. The project also addressed private utility interference affecting both underground and aerial systems. (2006, $4.2M)

NYCDOT, Hunts Point Area Streets Reconstruction, Bronx, NY. Project Engineer. Project development identification study (PDI) and phase two was to generate final design contract documents, which evolved into a multidisciplinary streets reconstruction project. HDR successfully completed both project phases. The project development identification phase realized the need for multidisciplinary streets reconstruction in residential and commercial/industrial areas. This identification phase included traffic analysis to optimize street sidewalk widths and infrastructure planning. Additionally, to accommodate both commercial and residential interests, special urban design and streetscapes were introduced. The final design phase included trunk and distribution water mains, storm sewers, composite and rigid pavement designs, landscape grading, street drainage, and urban design. Standard concrete sidewalk areas were revitalized with distinctive pavers, customized tree pit treatment, and tree planting. The challenges of traffic maintenance required a customized approach to finalizing the design. Adjacent land uses, and their commercial impact, were individually studied in order to engineer seamless street and infrastructure reconstruction. Since the two-phases built upon one another, community outreach was implemented at commencement and continued throughout the final design and construction. This NYCDOT engineer, community, adjacent facility owner/tenant, city agency, partnership assisted in completing another successful HDR. (1994, $21M)

NYCEDC, Stuyvesant Cove Streets Reconstruction and New Waterfront Park (REI), New York, NY. Project Manager. Stuyvesant Cove Park, with its related roadway and parking improvements and environmental center, has rejuvenated and reclaimed a derelict waterfront to meet the needs of the midtown Manhattan community. The park itself is an educational experience following an ecological theme. Because of its narrow site, the park design is layered with the density of plant materials increasing from the waters edge toward the elevated roadway. Loose wetland materials and shore planting soften the waters edge. The park was designed using plantings from the native riparian East River estuary. As it matures, this new environment will not be a literal re-creation of the original waterfront, but it will represent it as a kind of East River botanical garden. As the Resident Engineering Inspection consultant, HDR Daniel Frankfurt was responsible for the coordination and supervision of the new waterfront park, parking areas, drainage improvements, street lighting, curb and sidewalk, roadway reconstruction, and landscaping. Work involved reconstruction of Avenue C beneath the East River Drive viaduct, from 18th Street to 25th Street, to a divided northbound and southbound roadway, installation of a twin, 24 dia watermain, and the construction of a waterfront park with bikeway, walkway, and future environmental center connections.

The rehabilitation of the tri-level FDR Drive between East 54th Street to East 63rd Street included reconstruction of the deteriorated Southbound Viaduct, rehabilitation of the on-grade Northbound Roadway, and rehabilitation of the Roof Structure. The structure was designed and built in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and various historical factors resulted in an unconventional structural system featuring large amounts of reinforced concrete. Though the Southbound Viaduct could be replaced, it was necessary to maintain and rehabilitate various reinforced concrete retaining walls, bearing walls, columns, and piers, as well as the massive concrete Roof Deck, on which sit public parks and private gardens. The HDR's Team evaluated property issues on dozens of properties within and adjacent to the project area. This included the Roof Structure, where public and private properties were mapped. Property delineation needed to be conducted in both the horizontal and vertical axis. The effects of the construction work and future maintenance were evaluated, and proposed acquisition lines developed. Maps and other documents were prepared for NYSDOT for temporary and permanent easements, as well as fee takings. A series of Maintenance Jurisdiction Plans and Sections were developed by HDR Daniel Frankfurt for use of NYSDOT, NYCDOT, NYCEDC and the Parks Department to aid in the planning of the construction work and future maintenance responsibilities.

NYCT, 57th and Cortlandt Street Subway Stations (BMT Line) ADA Accessibility Renovation (Feasibility Study), New York, NY. Principal-In-Charge. The 57th Street and Cortlandt Street subway stations are both key NYCT stations requiring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in all respects (including access from the street), by 2010. As prime consultant, HDR Daniel Frankfurt performed the planning and architectural design as well as the structural, electrical and mechanical engineering functions, and supervised subconsultants in the performance of topographic surveys, surveys of the stations, utility mapping, and preparation of utility restoration drawings. These feasibility studies sought to sensitively locate street-to-mezzanine and mezzanine-to-platform elevators in order to provide ADA accessibility from the street to the subway platforms, while maintaining all of the required NYCT program spaces. Each station was evaluated for ADA non-compliance. Deficiencies were identified and remedied in the comprehensive final feasibility study report and the preferred options were document. Because of the street level sidewalk, street, and utility impacts of the elevators, approvals for the preferred study options were obtained from DOT, DEP, Con Ed, ECS, Verizon, Time Warner Cable and the NYFD prior to its completion. Because this study was completed pre-9/11/01, the design team was able to provide NYCT with current documentation of the Cortlandt Street station for use in its reconstruction. (2001, $350K)
