Scope Of Work

Construction of a new 3 story below-grade parking facility. Due to the close proximity of a very active hospital and residential neighborhood, vibration had to be minimized. Therefore, during the mass excavation and disposal of 40,000 cubic yards from the site, use of “Augured Piles” for the soldier beam and lagging system with tie-backs was utilized to shore the vertical faces of the excavation. To accommodate the new Parking Garage, the adjacent 3-story structure had to be underpinned to depths varying from 15’ to 30’ feet.  Once the concrete foundation was completed, backfilling of the perimeter walls presented a problem due to limited site access. Development of an innovative bracing method to support the newly poured foundation walls and the use of material conveyors enabled the backfilling of these walls prior to any steel erection thereby eliminating any potential coordination and logistical problems with the steel erector. Other components of the project included new curbs, sidewalks and the repaving of the roadway along Booth Memorial Ave and 141st Street.
