Riverside Blvd

Design and development of drawings for the erection of structural steel elements for the “Temporary Access Road connecting Riverside Boulevard between West 59th Street and 61st Street, near Miller Tunnel. Work included developing the loads from the individual structural elements to be installed and selecting a suitable Crane to pick up and install the elements in place. The structural elements were erected to form the framing for the temporary access road. A challenge in the project was the existing Route 22 was located on top of the temporary access road which restricted the selection and movement of the crane. The smallest crane of the required capacity and a small foot print was chosen. Fifteen (15) locations for the placements of crane and erection sequences were developed. Design calculation also involved the design of tool and tackles for the erection of the structural elements, as per NYCDOT design standards.
