Project Scope

Techno has provided Resident Engineering Inspection Services for NYCDDC in the borough of Queens. The work needed to be completed for this partic-ular contract consists of replacement of deteriorated sanitary sewers and old unlined cast iron distribution water mains. This project is located in the White Stone section of Queens in Community Board 7. 

This project is for the construction of storm and sanitary sewer and appurtenances (storm sewer chambers, catch basins, valves etc.) on 58st Ave. in between 183rd St & 185th St., in North Queens, NY, including water main work.
