OVERVIEW:
Skanska, a leading global construction and development firm, and joint venture partner, E-J Electric Installation Co., are leading this project for AMTRAK in New York City.
The project includes the rehabilitation of Line 1 and Line 2 of the East River Tunnels that were damaged by Superstorm Sandy, with the work on each consisting of the demolition of all tunnel components to the existing concrete tunnel liner, the repair of structural deficiencies of the tunnel concrete liner, and reconstruction of the bench walls and duct banks.

Thanks to the Our Rental Pumps team for partnering with Con Forms on this vital project. We are happy to play a small, but important, role in maintaining our transit infrastructure. The forthcoming upgrades will greatly improve safety, reliability, and modernize the 2.5-mile-long tunnels connecting New York Penn Station and Sunnyside Yard.
