Construction Management Services, Alley Creek Pump Station Upgrade

HAKS is providing Construction Management Services for work being done on the Alley Creek Combined Sewer Outfall Abatement Facilities in Queens, NY. Jeff Terzakis, HAKS' Senior Vice President responsible for construction management of municipal facilities, is the Project Executive for the HAKS Team.

The scope of work includes:

• Complete upgrade of the existing Old Douglaston Pump Station with renovation/rehabilitation of the existing structure and process equipment, and HVAC, plumbing, electrical and associated controls work
• Demolition, rehabilitation and reconstruction of two existing outfalls, which will involve temporary roadway construction through adjacent wetlands to provide access
• Activation of the CSO Retention Facility, which was constructed under Phase I of this work

Certain critical aspects of the work must be closely monitored and managed to ensure that major milestones are met and schedule slippages do not occur. These issues incclude procurement of long-lead items and scheduling; maintaining ccontinuous operation of the existing facility and coordination; and community/public participation issues

This project will help to reduce ccombined sewer overflow (CSO) events into Alley Creek, thereby improving the water quality in the creek and for the surrounding community.

HAKS will be providinincludecontinuouscombinedg Construction Management Services for the subsequent and final stage of this project, which includes restoration of the wetlands disturbed during this project.

The $30 Million project began in June 2007 and is scheduled to be completed by December 2009.
