Floral Park:
The LIRR Expansion Project from Floral Park to Hicksville, one of the region’s most significant transportation infrastructure projects, is now underway throughout the communities along a nearly ten mile stretch of mainline track.
During the month of August, you will see construction crews performing work in Floral Park. Specifically, there will be crews performing soil analysis tests; conducting pre-construction inspections of the existing conditions of structures surrounding worksites; and maintaining the grounds at the substation on Plainfield Avenue. A temporary field construction yard has also been set-up at the corner of Lily Street and Carnation Avenue. By way of explanation:
Existing Structure Surveys
- Property located within a specified radius of anticipated construction work requires a pre-construction photo inspection
- The survey is conducted to ensure the property is protected in the unlikely event of any damage
- Vibranalysis Inc., an independent consulting firm, will perform the survey
- Inspection consists of photographs and written documentation, recording the existing conditions of the interiors and exteriors of the structures surrounding the site
Temporary Field Construction Yard
- At the corner of Lily Street and Carnation Avenue, 3TC is establishing a temporary field construction yard, which the construction team will utilize for equipment and supplies
Substation Property Maintenance
- Crews will maintain the property at the substation located on the west side of Plainfield Avenue, between Terrace Avenue and Stewart Street
Soil Analysis Tests
- Soil analysis testing evaluates the characteristics of the soil where construction will occur and will reveal any contaminants that may be present
- Should contaminants be found, the construction team will ensure safe removal and transport of the contaminated soil to the appropriate disposal facility
