This Design-Build project consisted of several improvements to the highway system servicing Hunt’s Point in Queens, New York – home to several distribution and industrial centers. Malick & Scherer, P.C. provided civil and structural design services on several ramps, walls, and bridges.
Roadway structural support services provided by M&S:
Barrier/moment slab design
Bifurcated median barrier design and detailing
Transition barrier design and detailing
Pier protection details
Fencing foundation and connection details
In accordance with the RFP Part 3 Project Requirements, the Design-Build team was responsible for the complete design of any detail that did not directly follow NYSDOT, NYCDOT, NYCDPR or other applicable agency standards. This amounted to a substantial number of site‐specific details that needed to be developed and design calculations prepared to the Design Quality Assurance Engineer (DQAE) satisfaction.
