32 Old Slip in NYC
When a Manhattan water main breaks and receives a violation from the NYC DEP¬† on a Friday afternoon ‘rush service‘ is needed. Of equal importance is the fact that this building is located on Old Slip is in the heart of the financial district of downtown Manhattan- the water main replacement must be complete before the building opens for business on Monday. Balkan sewer and water main service is unique in that it can tailor the service it provides to its customers needs on a routine basis.
Balkan Job Location
In the case of this Manhattan water main issue a water main crew was mobilized on Friday morning, followed up by a night crew working Friday¬† night, and then the original crew returning to the site on Saturday. All told Balkan worked over 33 hours straight right through the night to perform a complete water main replacement of a 6″ water main which provided vital fire protection for this fully occupied office building. Not only was custom service provided but as is its ‘trademark’ Balkan also took care to address other issues and ensure a quality main water line installation.
Water Service Expertly Installed With Offset
- Balkan had custom fittings in stock to install an offset to go around other utility lines.
- A custom granite paver sidewalk was carefully preserved without damage.
- An NYC DEP inspection was arranged for and the water main replacement was ‘signed off’.
-
Unique Sidewalk Design
Clean backfill material as imported to ensure a high degree of compaction and no future settlement of the excavations.
- Due to a ground water condition special hydraulic cement was used to water proof both the inside and outside of the foundation wall.
- The site was left broom clean with all excavations flush and level ready for vehicular and pedestrian traffic alike.
Being able to provide service around-the-clock on short notice is hard to find in the NYC water main industry. Being professional and addressing unexpected issues such as a water condition, utility obstructions, and custom sidewalk restoration is truly unique. When a complete sewer and water main replacement service is needed in Manhattan or throughout the NYC metropolitan area Balkan provides the answer every time. Results not excuses are hard to find nowadays, the Balkan team is dedicated to results.
