Instrumentation & Monitoring
Instrumentation and monitoring of various sensors to measure construction activities
The Hudson Yards project is one of the largest private real-estate developments in US history, at roughly $20 billion. Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, the project encompasses three city blocks and two avenues. The project, constructed on a concrete platform over the existing Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) west side storage yard, entails 17 buildings (18 million square feet) including, but not limited to: office towers, retail and residential units, hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues and a school.
Geocomp provided instrumentation and monitoring services for two segments of this challenging project, the Hudson Yards Gateway Tunnel and the Hudson Yards Platform. The Gateway Tunnel project will be built beneath the existing LIRR west side storage yards to provide access to Penn Station, so that a future rail tunnel to New Jersey can be built. The Hudson Yards platform project consists of building a massive concrete platform above the existing LIRR storage yard to act as a base for vertical construction.
