Project Spotlight: Floating Pool Lady
Among the team’s current assignments is providing support for the inspection of a unique piece of New York City civic infrastructure: The Floating Pool Lady. This unusual (and unusually named) facility is a half Olympic-size public swimming pool, built into a barge. It is moored at Barretto Point Park, on the Bronx’s East River shoreline, and provides recreational swimming opportunities for the Hunts Point neighborhood and surrounding communities.
Project Spotlight: Rehabilitation of the Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge is both a New York City icon and a critical piece of the city’s day-to-day infrastructure. A National Historic Landmark, it was the first bridge to span the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn, and at the time of its construction it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The bridge is widely recognized for the timeless aesthetic appeal of its neo-Gothic stone arches and elaborate masonry.

Renovated Bath Beach Park Playground Opens to Public
EnTech recently celebrated the opening of the Bath Beach Park playground, in Brooklyn, following a $5 million renovation. EnTech served as the construction manager for the project, which replaced a dilapidated playground and asphalt field with a new playground and fitness area. The project included new lighting, plantings for shade and aesthetics, drinking fountains, water supply, drainage, curbs, safety surfacing, and fencing.
Celebrating the Opening of Grand Central Madison
EnTech has welcomed the recent opening of Grand Central Madison, a new rail terminal underneath the historic Grand Central Terminal. This expansive new facility brings Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) commuter service to Manhattan’s East Side for the first time, greatly increasing train capacity to and from Manhattan and reducing commute lengths for more than 100,000 commuters daily.
NYC Wastewater Resiliency Program CM
EnTech is providing construction management and inspection services for this crucial program throughout the construction phase at six WRRFs: Hunts Point, in the Bronx; Newtown Creek, in Brooklyn; Bowery Bay and Tallman Island, in Queens; Port Richmond, in Staten Island; and Wards Island, in the East River. Together these six facilities serve 4.2 million New Yorkers.
EnTech REI Team Celebrates Completion of Major Water Infrastructure Project
EnTech recently celebrated the ribbon cutting of QED991, a major water main and sewer upgrade project for the New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC), in northeastern Queens. EnTech, in joint venture, led REI services for this $78 million project, which installed more than 7 miles of trunk main, distribution water main, and combined sewer.
Riverside Drive Viaduct Rehabilitation
EnTech’s REI team is currently at work on a crucial roadway project in Upper Manhattan: the rehabilitation of the Riverside Drive Viaduct. This 78-span elevated structure carries six lanes of traffic between West 153rd and West 161st streets. A historically significant structure, whose first segment was built in 1908, it offers scenic views of the Hudson River and the New Jersey Palisades. The viaduct forms part of an exceptionally dense network of civil infrastructure—Amtrak’s Empire Line runs directly underneath one segment of the viaduct, and numerous masonry and high-rise buildings abut the viaduct’s eastern side.
EnTech REI Team Hosts NYCDDC and NYCDEP Commissioners
EnTech recently hosted a visit by the commissioners of the New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC) and New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP), as well as other city officials, at the Vernon Boulevard location of NYCDDC project QED1050, which entails the installation of distribution water main. The commissioners were pleased with the progress that EnTech’s team had made in a short period of time, especially considering the extensive underground utility interferences in the area.
