Replacement of Six Traction Elevators at 181st Street and 190th Street Stations
TYLin provided CCM services for the replacement of six traction elevators at the 181st Street and 190th Street stations on NYCT A Line in New York, New York.
As part of TYLin’s consultant construction management (CCM) On-call for Miscellaneous Projects, our team worked diligently to bring New York City Transit (NYCT) stations into compliance with the American with Disabilities (ADA) Act. This initiative included hard-to-access stations and replaced elevators that are frequently inoperable to assure riders of all abilities can access rail platforms that can be 140 feet below street level.
TYLin provided a Resident Engineer, an Office Engineer, and electrical, civil, structural, safety, quality, and other technical experts under this on-call agreement. The team provided construction management services and coordinated this work with other ongoing NYCT projects and contracts.
Project Highlights:
- TYLin provided constructability reviews and completed the preconstruction, construction, and closeout processes.
- Our team was responsible for project controls that encompassed cost/estimating, schedule control, document control using Constructware, and quality assurance/quality control.
- Nighttime work and 24- and 52-hour weekend General Orders required multiple round-the-clock teams.
- Tasks included the installation and commissioning of escalators and elevators.
- The project required significant structural and architectural work and included the installation, commissioning, and testing of mechanical, electrical, lighting, and communications systems.
