MTA Escalator Replacement
(E-30645)

New York, NY | 2023–2026

SCOPE:

Led design and construction engineering for accessibility upgrades across two active MTA stations.

Acting as Lead Designer within a Design-Build framework, the team ensured critical life-safety state of good repair. We coordinated multidisciplinary delivery while maintaining continuous station operations. Innovative temporary works – including a work platform doubling as egress – improved schedule performance, while advanced load transfer strategies enabled rapid structural modifications with minimal service disruption.

OUR ROLES:

Stephanie Berrios was the Lead Structural Engineer and Construction Engineer, and Dave Douglas was the Design Manager.
