American Disability Act 13 Stations P3
Halmar ID is the sole developer for the first ever P3 (Public-Private-Partnership) awarded by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), to improve accessibility in 13 subway stations in New York City. The project consists of the installation of 20 new elevators, the replacement of 14 others, general path-of-travel improvements at 13 stations within the New York City subway network; and the management and maintenance of the infrastructure for an initial period of 15 years post construction with two potential 5-year extension periods.

Halmar & CBNA are building the Potomac River Tunnel Contract B Tunnel System Construction
Part of DC Water’s $2.99B Clean Rivers Project, a vast program to improve the water quality in the region, this project is a major environmental initiative designed to control combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and improve water quality in the Potomac River, the fourth-largest river along the US East Coast. The purpose of the project is to collect and store combined sewer system discharges and stormwater run-off during storm events that exceed the capacity of the combined sewer system along the Potomac River and convey them to DC Water’s Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant at Blue Plains. The main tunnel will cross variable geological conditions, pass close to Washington DC’s iconic monuments, and will require the use of two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) customized specifically for these soil conditions.

SINELEC USA Commercial Vehicle Management System Contract
SINELEC has been awarded a contract with the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) to install a state-of-the-art Commercial Vehicle Management System (CVMS) as part of their construction of a new commercial vehicle enforcement facility (CVEF). The CVEF will be located westbound on I-80, in Solano County in California. This facility is being built in partnership with California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the California Transportation Commission.
The facility is expected to process 1000 trucks an hour that will increase enforcement capacity, improve travel times, and improve safety by reducing back-ups on the highway. Sinelec is responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining the CVMS system.
Sinelec’s system will measure, identify, and track vehicles that are overweight, over dimensional, out of regulatory compliance, and have unsafe tires or overheating brakes. This will be completed by installing a series of state-of-the-art sensors overhead at strategic locations on the highway, along the ramps and at the inspection facility.
The vehicles will be routed to 1 of 4 lanes based on issues detected by the system. At the inspection facility, the system will provide recommendations to the officers through a user interface. The officers will then make the determination if the vehicle needs further inspection. Traffic lights and variable message signs will direct the vehicles to the proper inspection location. This technology will allow the CVEF to process more than 3 times the number of vehicles per hour compared to current facilities.

Halmar is the Design-Builder for Penn Station Access
MTA Capital Construction $1.85 billion design-build project will transform and expand New York’s vital regional transportation infrastructure by providing access directly to Penn Station for Metro-North Railroad’s (MNR’s) customers in the Bronx, Westchester, and Connecticut. Penn Station Access will bring Amtrak’s Hell Gate Line to a state of good repair and improve reliability and on-time performance for intercity passengers and prepare the corridor for future high-speed rail.
The project includes the design and construction of four new rail stations in the Bronx; five new and two upgraded substations; rehabilitation, and expansion of more than 19 miles of track and four bridges; reconfiguration of the New Rochelle Train Yard; and the modernization of signal, power, and communications infrastructure.

Replacement Park Ave Viaduct
Halmar is building this complex design-build project is part of MNR’s initiative to restore this critical piece of infrastructure to a state of good repair. It includes the complete replacement of the existing one and a quarter mile-long elevated steel structure from the north side of 115th Street to the south side of East 123rd Street along Park Avenue in the busy Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan. The viaduct affects 98% of MNR’s trains going into and out of Grand Central Terminal on the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven Lines. Work involves replacing existing structures, tracks, power, communications, and the signal system; and will be executed from both underneath and above the viaduct, with staggered superstructure and substructure work to progress sequentially. Design solutions, demolition and construction means and methods have been developed with the primary goal of maximizing safety and minimizing impacts to the railroad, its customers, and the community in this vital corridor. Some include Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) and the use of an Overhead Gantry Crane that straddles over the viaduct. Halmar estimates to complete the project a remarkable 21 months ahead of the MTA’s schedule.
