Challenges Solved
The 96th Street subway station project presented MRCE with three significant challenges: 1) relocation of utilities; 2) installation of full-span deck beams; and 3) configuration of a lateral support system to brace the excavation walls that would minimize movement of adjacent structures but not slow down excavation activities. MRCE’s approach solved these challenges economically and without closing New York City’s 2nd Avenue, a major southbound thoroughfare.
