Amir Asem, Resident Engineer, recently led a tour of the Grand Concourse Reconstruction field site for EnTech office staff. The visit afforded members of EnTech’s Talent Acquisition, Office Administration, Contract, and Human Resources departments a chance to learn more about EnTech’s involvement on this major NYCDDC project. For many, this was their first time being on an active project site, providing them with an introduction to various trades and an understanding of the amount of coordination and supervision needed to ensure the success of this $61M project.

EnTech’s transportation CM staff is overseeing an important project to clean and paint deteriorating surfaces on 15 steel roadway bridges across six counties in the Hudson Valley region. The project will protect the bridges against corroding effects of the environment, acid rain, and deicing agents. The project also involves abatement of asbestos-containing material, lead-based paint, and lead-containing concrete coating.

For the past four years, EnTech has been at work over the Harlem River, overseeing critical upgrades to the Madison Avenue Bridge between Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. The firm, in joint venture, is leading resident engineering inspection (REI) and environmental services for a New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) project to upgrade mechanical, electrical, and structural components of the movable bridge. The goal of the project is to replace nonfunctioning or obsolete parts and bring the bridge up to regulatory standards.

This NYCDEP project involved the demolition of three bridges and the reconstruction of two existing bridges located within the Croton Watershed area of Westchester County due to the poor condition of their existing superstructure, low road ratings, and substandard features.

A recent New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC) infrastructure report recognized EnTech’s all-women REI team for their outstanding efforts on the Shore Road Stabilization (HWQ985E) project.

This project will improve water infrastructure reliability in the Bayside neighborhood of Queens, NY by installing more than seven miles of new water mains along 33rd, 37th, and 38th Avenues and sections of Utopia Parkway. The installation serves two main purposes: it creates redundancy within the water distribution system, making the system less vulnerable to shutdowns, and it increases the size of the water mains, improving water pressure in the area.

We are excited to announce that our Geotechnical team has successfully completed instrumentation installation and monitoring for the microtunneling requirements of the DC Water - Northeast Boundary Tunnel project!

Residents of the Travis neighborhood on Staten Island have been affected in recent years by flooding from storm surges and sewage overflows, which have been exacerbated by aging pipes and limited stormwater infrastructure. EnTech recently provided construction inspection and coordination for a $33M project to provide much-needed drainage upgrades for this primarily residential area, including new storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and water mains.

In a surprise visit, the EnTech & LIRIANO JV. REI team had the honor of presenting project QED1023B - REI Services for the Replacement of Trunk & Distribution Water Mains in Cypress Avenue - to New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC) Commissioner Jamie Torres-Springer, who was accompanied by NYCDDC Assistant Commissioner Alla Ayzenshtat and Director of Safety Carlos Ortiz.

EnTech, as the prime consultant, provided Construction Management and Resident Engineering Inspection Services. EnTech’s team included a Resident Engineer, Project Manager, and Environmental Monitor/Assistant.

On July 1st, EnTech was honored to present the Shore Road Reconstruction project to DDC Commissioner Mr. Jamie Torres-Springer during his visit to the project site. The Shore Road Stabilization project is a critical undertaking to rehabilitate collapsed embankments at two locations along Shore Road in the Douglas Manor section of Queens, NY. The project will involve the creation of a retaining wall to stabilize the road where the embankment had eroded.

Replacing a combined sewer system on The Bronx’s most famous street, the Grand Concourse, is the scope of the project. Teaming with the New York Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC) EnTech provides the following roles: Resident Engineer, Assistant Resident Engineer, Office Engineer, Inspectors, Geotechnical Engineers, and CADD Operators.

The Unionport Bridge is a traffic connection so critical that historically it could not be out of service for replacement. EnTech is proud to be part of the team providing Construction Support Services to allow for bridge replacement while still maintaining continuous service.
