Second Avenue Subway MTA New York City Transit New York, New York

Second Avenue Subway MTA New York City Transit New York, New York The Second Avenue Subway will reduce overcrowding by as much as 13% on an average weekday and reduce travel time by as much as 27% for those on the far east side and those coming from the eastside to west midtown on the Lexington Avenue line. Improving travel for both city and suburban commuters and providing better access to mass transit for residents of the far East Side of Manhattan, this 8-mile-long line is being built in phases. The first phase will provide service from 96th Street to 63rd Street as an extension of the Q train. Ultimately, the subway will extend from 125th Street in Harlem to the Financial District in Lower Manhattan and will include 19.5 miles of new track and 16 new stations; bring ADA-accessible stations to 96th, 86th, and 72nd streets; connection and new entrances to the existing 63rd Street station; and require more than two miles of new tunnels. NAIK Consulting Group. P.C. (NAIK) has been involved with many challenging facets of the Second Avenue Subway project from its beginning in 2001. We have provided engineers, architects, surveyors, and technicians to fulfill the schedule of the design team. We have been involved with station designs providing expertise from our architects as well as GIS for many different data files. Our survey staff is providing survey services for right of way/property acquisition and easements on an on-call basis. NAIK’s infrastructure engineers are involved with the utility mapping, analysis, and relocation plans for the entire length of the project and particularly the large sewers and water mains along and crossing Second Avenue. NAIK has also provided technical support with 3D modeling of the designs as well as CADD support for civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers. Additionally, our civil engineers prepared contract documents for utility relocation plans and structures for the first design- build contract. Our engineers are familiar with NYCDEP sewer and water design standards, which are the basis for the sizing of new large pipe systems over a large area of the project. Our infrastructure engineers have developed a working relationship with NYCDEP, Con Edison, and ECS/Verizon personnel, as well as other utility owners within the project area, to integrate utility relocations with the existing systems. Our engineers have been involved in construction-document preparation for nine different MTACC contracts and have been called upon to provide construction phase services. www.naikgroup.com New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania This project poses unique challenges, including: • Utility designs for public and private owners vying for limited space within the roadways and over the new subway structures • Maintenance of existing building services while relocating utility systems • Site specific designs to maintain large existing sewer and water systems • Integration of utility improvements by other owners into the proposed Second Avenue Subway utility designs, i.e., NYCDEP water tunnel • Harmonious integration of proposed subway tunnel and station designs with the public and private utility relocations • Integration of utility designs with the maintenance and protection of traffic • Designs during construction to meet changes in field conditions Agency/Owner: MTA New York City Transit Construction Cost: $17B Project Duration: 2001 - 2016 www.naikgroup.com New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania .
