BvF Engineering is managing the upgrade of fare evasion barriers across 81 stations for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). This project enhances security and accessibility by installing polycarbonate enclosures and raising the height of existing fare gates and barriers.

The scope includes demolishing and replacing outdated gate systems, installing new high barriers, and extending emergency gates through welding to existing structures. Structural upgrades also feature floor-concealed door closers to meet ADA standards, with high barrier toppers and porcelain tiles added to selected N-line stations for a consistent finish.

BvF Engineering oversees the scheduling for the entire project using Primavera P6, ensuring smooth execution across 25 phases. We prepare and update the Baseline Construction Schedule, providing 90-day and 3-week lookahead updates to track progress. Critical path management ensures any delays are mitigated, keeping the project on schedule.

BvF also conducts Time Impact Analyses (TIA) for change orders and manages the project closeout, ensuring punchlist items are resolved, inspections are completed, and the stations are commissioned on time.
