The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is responsible for maintaining and operating wastewater collection facilities, including over 95 pumping stations. The Canal Street Pumping Station, which has been in operation for approximately 90 years and was last upgraded in 1996, requires reconstruction to ensure continued reliability and compliance with regulatory standards. Under this project, a new pumping station will be constructed adjacent to the existing station, which will subsequently be decommissioned. The work includes building a below-grade wet well with submersible sewage pumps, discharge piping, and related infrastructure, along with an underground electrical vault to house critical electrical equipment. Several utilities will be relocated, including a 10-inch force main, a 36-inch sanitary sewer extension, a water main, and a new combined sewer bypass system. The existing pumping station will be cleaned, filled with flowable fill, sealed, and permanently taken out of service. 

BVF Engineering is providing construction management support services for this project, including full-time and part-time personnel for structural inspection, electrical inspection, scheduling, and cost engineering. BVF is responsible for overseeing construction activities, managing project documentation, reviewing contractor compliance, and ensuring adherence to project specifications. As part of its scheduling services, BVF will review and analyze the contractor’s baseline schedule, monitor progress, and provide periodic schedule updates and progress reports. Additionally, BVF will conduct time impact analyses to assess potential delays and their effects on project completion. Other responsibilities include coordinating with NYCDEP, contractors, and stakeholders, maintaining quality control, and supporting regulatory compliance efforts.
