The MTA Myrtle Avenue Line Viaduct and Bridge Replacement project involves the reconstruction and upgrading of the Myrtle Avenue elevated subway line in Brooklyn, New York. This project aims to improve the reliability, safety, and efficiency of the subway line by replacing its outdated infrastructure with modern and durable materials. The viaduct and bridge replacement involved the construction of a new elevated structure, installation of new track systems, and upgrading of the electrical and communication systems. The project is expected to enhance the overall passenger experience and provide a more reliable and efficient transit service for the residents of Brooklyn.
From temporary structural support, geometric control to steel shop drawings, UrbanTech provided an effective array of construction engineering services for this railroad project:
• Developed construction phasing plans and demolition plans for the existing superstructure and substructure.
• Designed a temporary steel tower and catenary cable system to support live signal cables throughout construction.
• Performed geometric anaylsis for new railroad structures and utility support structures
• Generated steel shop drawings for new railroad structures, including the framing for the new viaduct maintenance walkway.
• Laser scanning with LIDAR imaging for reliable accuracy.
