Project Overview

Role: Design-Build Services

M&J Engineering D.P.C. (M&J), as part of a team, is providing construction quality control and resident engineering services for this project to replace the existing Metro-North Railroad viaduct in its entirety from the north side of East 115th Street to the south side of East 123rd Steet along Park Avenue in Harlem, NY. The section of the viaduct is an elevated steel structure which carries four third rail-powered tracks over Park Avenue. All trains from the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven lines must cross this viaduct to enter Grand Central Terminal. Approximately 750 trains per day traverse the viaduct and the daily ridership from the three lines is in the hundreds of thousands of customers per day. The required engineering services include all tracks and systems (including the direct fixation fastener system), power, communication and signals, bridge and other structures, and civil specialties necessary for the successful completion of the project.

M&J’s responsibilities include oversight and management of construction quality related activities as required for the construction of the project. M&J will ensure that all technical specifications and designs that are utilized meet MTA C&D’s requirements. M&J is coordinating the design-build process with Halmar International and AECOM, the design-builder’s designer, as well as coordinating all field inspection activities to ensure that the construction quality control system is established, maintained, and implemented.
