Painting and Protecting Bridges Across the Hudson Valley

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.

Infrastructure Week Spotlight: EnTech Overseeing Upgrades to the Madison Avenue Bridge

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.

Improving Water Infrastructure Reliability

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.

Alleviating Storm and Sewage Concerns on Staten Island’s West Shore

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.
