A better way to commute

A critical component of the Harrison Waterfront Redevelopment Plan, the new PATH Harrison Station replaced the original, derelict station built in 1936 and provides the community with a fully accessible and elegantly designed high-performance station and public space. Working adjacent to active tracks and around active rail operations, Halmar constructed two new station houses on the east side of Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard, as well as two new elevated platforms located where the railway viaduct crosses a major boulevard. Design and construction activities required extensive coordination and involvement of Amtrak personnel throughout the project’s duration as the project is located along Amtrak’s critical Northeast Corridor. Halmar worked with PANYNJ and their designers to perform constructability reviews of the design plans and serve in an advisory role for coordination of work activities with Amtrak. Scope of work encompassed demolition, facilities construction, specialty pile foundations, electrical, mechanical systems, sewer, water, electric transformer structure, communications systems, elevators, escalators, photovoltaic roof, and hardscape granite plazas. The Station is designed to PANYNJ Sustainable Building Guidelines, LEED Silver equivalent, and is designed to respond to new FEMA projects for flood elevation.
