ZOFS's support for NYCDDC #Queens Infrastructure has been nationally recognized! Our #ZOFS Resident Engineering Inspection #REI Team, was honored with the ACEC National Recognition Award for our work on a major NYC Department of Design and Construction infrastructure project in #Queens, NYC. This prestigious award, presented at the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Engineering Excellence Awards Gala in Washington DC, is a testament to our team’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and community-focused engineering. About the Project: Project SE 823, as part of the NYCDDC Southeast Queens Initiative, involved the installation of 16’x8’ combined box sewers, a regulator chamber on a 48” interceptor, a sluice gate, a tide gate chamber, distribution and complex water mains, roadway and streetscape improvements, and the relocation of various underground utilities. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the complex nature of the large-scale project, our team delivered a successful project that significantly enhanced the local infrastructure and mitigated flooding risks in the community. Our dedicated team of construction managers, resident engineers, office engineers, field inspectors, and community construction liaisons, has been instrumental in delivering high-quality infrastructure projects. We remain committed to bringing the same level of dedication, expertise, and innovation to every project we undertake. We extend our gratitude to NYC DDC leadership who played a crucial role in this project’s success NYC Department of Design and Construction, NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP), New York City Department of Transportation, our JV partner NV5, and the #Laurelton, #Queens community. A special thank you to NYC DDC leadership who were integral to this project's success, including Thomas Foley, P.E., Eric Macfarlane, Thomas Wynne, Ali Mallick, Donald Granger, and Adwait Das, P.E..

Strolling through Midtown Manhattan? Running to catch your LIRR train at Grand Central Station? Discover the Engineering Marvel Behind Pershing Square West Plaza! When you're next walking by Grand Central Station, take a moment to appreciate the engineering brilliance behind the Pershing Square West Plaza and Streetscape. After years of planning and perseverance, the dream of creating an inviting pedestrian plaza finally came to life in 2019, thanks to the NYC Plaza Program and the NYC Department of Design and Construction. #ZOFSInAction was entrusted with the monumental task of beautifying the area and overhauling its infrastructure; providing Resident Engineering Inspection Services. Right across the street from one of NYC's busiest hubs, this project was more than just a facelift—it was a deep dive into the heart of the city's infrastructure. We replaced and relocated underground utilities, including a staggering 1420 linear feet of 36-inch diameter steel trunk water mains and 1880 linear feet of distribution water mains. All this, right beside and underneath the historic Park Avenue Viaduct. We didn't stop at the utilities. The area was transformed into a vibrant pedestrian plaza, integrating street features and green infrastructure like rain gardens. The addition of electrical fixtures further enhanced the public space, making it a welcoming spot for both New Yorkers and visitors. One of the most challenging aspects was developing the trunk main while accounting for the viaduct, underground subway structures, and other interferences. This required meticulous planning and innovative solutions, such as revising the originally designed 48-inch trunk main to navigate low clearances crossing existing subway structures. A special thanks to the NYC Department of Design and Construction for allowing us to support our city once again. Next time you're in Midtown, you'll see Pershing Square West Plaza not just as a beautiful urban space but as a testament to engineering expertise and dedication. 🌟👷♀️👷♂️ #Engineering #Infrastructure #NYCProjects #UrbanTransformation #ZOFS #GrandCentralStation #PershingSquareWest #PublicSpace #SustainableDesign #CivilEngineering #nycconstruction #civilengineers

We are thrilled to announce the completion of our SE810 project in Whitestone, Queens! On May 28th, the #ZOFS team joined NYC Department of Design and Construction's Thomas Foley, P.E., Eric Macfarlane, Tom Wynne, Ali Mallick, NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP)'s Rohit Aggarwala, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, elected officials, and community members to celebrate this milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Our NYCDDC #SE810 project, a $72 million endeavor, focused on enhancing the stormwater drainage system, rebuilding local streets, and upgrading essential infrastructure. Working on 70 individual blocks, we provided Resident Engineering Inspection #REI services, successfully installed over six miles of new storm sewers, replaced nearly nine miles of old water mains, and added significant improvements to the local streetscape. This project, alongside SE811, represents a $128 million investment in Whitestone's infrastructure, addressing longstanding flooding issues and improving stormwater management. These efforts will prevent 29 million gallons of pollution from entering Flushing Bay each year, contributing to a healthier environment for the community. We are proud of our team's dedication and hard work in overcoming numerous challenges, such as working around schools, bus routes, and utilities, to deliver this project eight months ahead of schedule. This achievement not only enhances the quality of life for Whitestone residents but also demonstrates our commitment to sustainable and resilient infrastructure solutions. Thank you to all our partners, including NYC DEP, New York City Department of Transportation, NV5, and the local community, for their support and collaboration throughout this project. We look forward to continuing our work in building a better, more resilient New York City. #Infrastructure #Sustainability #StormwaterManagement #Whitestone #NYCDDC #ZOFSengineering #CommunityImpact #civilengineers #nycconstruction
