Building 2nd Avenue Subway 96th Street Station

The scope of this project was to construct the shell of the 96th Street Station for the 2nd Avenue Subway. This cut and- cover project encompassed 2nd Avenue from 91st Street to 100th Street on the upper Eastside of Manhattan. It involved the relocation of major utilities (i.e. sewer, water, gas, electrical and telephone), the construction of slurry walls, the installation of secant–pile support of excavation systems, the installation of bracing for support of excavation, the installation of curb-to-curb roadway decking, mass excavation and the placement of the reinforced concrete base slab. This project also included the underpinning of several buildings using jetgrouting, compaction grouting, compensation grouting and mini-piles.
