As the prime consultant, SI Engineering, P.C. (SIE) provided resident engineering inspection services for this New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYCDDC) project. The project involved the construction of distribution water main work in Jay Avenue between Borden Avenue and 66th Street. Distribution water mains were replaced along 12th and 14th Streets, 30th Road, 30th Drive, and 31st Avenue, as well as other locations in Queens. The project replaced an estimated total of 8,850 linear feet of existing aging water mains to prevent potentially hazardous breaks, upgrade fire protection infrastructure, and improve water distribution in the project areas. Work included the installation of 8” and 12” water mains, the transfer of house services connection to the new mains, and the replacement of street gate valves and castings. Other work included the replacement of fire hydrants and other infrastructure upgrades.
