View Full Project Details
Work includes relocating the existing shelter from the south side of the tracks, to the north side without disassembly. The structure, located on the south side of the tracks, was lifted with a 265T crane from the north side of the tracks, reaching over to relocate the shelter onto a new foundation on the north side. Once the existing structure was relocated, the existing foundation was expanded to accommodate two new elevator pits for new elevators. A new tower was erected on the south side to allow for the new pedestrian bridge to be connected for pedestrian access over the tracks, above the catenary lines. The north side consisted of a new platform with folding edge, 204’ long, a new tower with two elevators and the second connection point for the new pedestrian bridge. Extensive site work began with over 200 LF of PZ27 sheeting driven 20 feet into the ground, adjacent to active train tracks. Excavations for the new platform and tower were able to be performed once the sheeting was installed. Once the north tower steel erection was complete a 275T hydraulic crane was utilized to install the prefabricated, one piece bridge connecting the north and south towers, above the catenary lines. The exteriors of both towers were finished with natural field stone, brick and composite metal panels. The roofs are a metal standing seam, with copper gutter and downspout. The exterior walls are framed with a heavy gauge steel stud and finished inside with tongue and groove AZEK boards and AZEK trim. All ceilings are finished with ¾” tongue and groove boards. All roofs are sheathed with 5/4” tongue and groove boards. The north side of the project received a new porous paving parking lot, with retaining wall. Work on the south side of the existing parking lot included a complete milling and 2” overlay with S0.5 asphalt. During construction, the electrical service was upgraded to a new 800-amp service, along with a natural gas backup generator and transfer switch. Four electric vehicle charging stations were added to accommodate the rising need for electric vehicle charging.
