Line Structure and Stations Projects
Artheon provided full project and construction management for major MTA railroad infrastructure upgrades across four key areas:
1) 53rd Street Tube Pump Room Rehab: Comprehensive overhaul of damaged systems and components, rehab of key facilities along the subway line, and ensured resilience against future natural disasters at multiple locations.
2) Rutgers Subway Tube Rehabilitation: 4,000 feet of track replacement, signal modernization, third rail and communication upgrades, tunnel pumps, vent plants, structural steel repairs, ADA platform improvements, and flood resiliency.
3) 8th Avenue Subway Line Rehabilitation: Structural tunnel repairs, duct-bench replacement, water infiltration repairs, fiber optic cable installation, new communication node house, fan plant and power upgrades, lighting, and railroad station enhancements.
4) 14th Street Station Complex – ADA & Repairs: Modernization of three railroad stations, nine new elevators, 57 stairs reconstructed, new fare control and employee areas, safety systems, CCTV, platform edge reconstruction, and general repairs.
All work occurred in active rail environments, requiring outage planning and coordination, stakeholder engagement, 24/7 construction oversight, and complex scheduling. Artheon’s scope covered project logistics, site access, construction and operational phasing, evaluation of value engineering/alternative technical concepts, review of contractor means and methods, force account coordination, track outage planning, site inspections, stakeholder and design compliance, decommissioning and commissioning, and risk/safety/quality/environmental oversight. Full office engineering support included invoice reviews, shop drawing/code compliance, NEPA, field issue resolution and preparation of project status reports and dashboards.
Line Structure and Stations Sub-Projects
ADA Upgrades at the 14th Street Subway Station Complex
Procurement Type: Design-Build
Construction Cost: $200M
Construction of nine new elevators, relocation of existing subway entrance stairs, modernization of subway station complex and employee facilities and relocation of subsurface utilities.
Rutgers Tube Resiliency
Procurement Type: Design-Build
Construction Cost: $90M
The Rutgers Tube Design-Build Project rehabilitated systems and components within the Rutgers Subway Tube that were damaged by Superstorm Sandy, as well as systems and components that are at the end of their useful lives. This included achieving a State of Good Repair and to provide long-term resiliency measures to protect against future extreme tidal inundation events.
Structural Rehabilitation to the 8th Avenue Subway Line
Procurement Type: Design-Build
Construction Cost: $51M
Repair line structure components on the 8th Avenue Subway Line (tracks – A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5- between 59th Street/Columbus Circle and Jay Street Station, and between Canal Street Station and World Trade Center Station). Install new tunnel lighting system between 8th Avenue and 7th Avenue (tracks D3 & D4) and a new Tunnel Lighting Room at 50th Street Station. Install new fiber optic cables in five different areas along the 8th Avenue Line to enable connectivity between various communication rooms, fan plants, pump rooms and substations.
