Amir Asem, Resident Engineer, recently led a tour of the Grand Concourse Reconstruction field site for EnTech office staff. The visit afforded members of EnTech’s Talent Acquisition, Office Administration, Contract, and Human Resources departments a chance to learn more about EnTech’s involvement on this major NYCDDC project. For many, this was their first time being on an active project site, providing them with an introduction to various trades and an understanding of the amount of coordination and supervision needed to ensure the success of this $61M project.

EnTech’s transportation CM staff is overseeing an important project to clean and paint deteriorating surfaces on 15 steel roadway bridges across six counties in the Hudson Valley region. The project will protect the bridges against corroding effects of the environment, acid rain, and deicing agents. The project also involves abatement of asbestos-containing material, lead-based paint, and lead-containing concrete coating.

For the past four years, EnTech has been at work over the Harlem River, overseeing critical upgrades to the Madison Avenue Bridge between Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. The firm, in joint venture, is leading resident engineering inspection (REI) and environmental services for a New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) project to upgrade mechanical, electrical, and structural components of the movable bridge. The goal of the project is to replace nonfunctioning or obsolete parts and bring the bridge up to regulatory standards.

This NYCDEP project involved the demolition of three bridges and the reconstruction of two existing bridges located within the Croton Watershed area of Westchester County due to the poor condition of their existing superstructure, low road ratings, and substandard features.

A recent New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC) infrastructure report recognized EnTech’s all-women REI team for their outstanding efforts on the Shore Road Stabilization (HWQ985E) project.
