Site of a large building demolition in the Bronx
Sewer and water main disconnections are a vital part of any demolition of a building. Recently in the Bronx an iconic factory in operation for 80 years was closed and scheduled for demolition. Being the size of a full city block with twenty various size and type of sewer line and water main lines – This was no ordinary NYC sewer and water main disconnection job.
Underground utilities to be disconnected
Underground sewer and water lines
Part of any safe excavation work in NYC involves notifying all public utility companies to ensure that their underground facilities are carefully marked out to avoid damage. In this case work was taking place on three different streets. Many large subsurface utilities are present including gas services in close proximity to the sewer and water main service lines. When properly marked out all subsurface utilities have paint markings placed on the roadway to clearly show the area where they are located.
On a project such as this safety orientation is given each morning before work is commenced. Working safely and excavating safely far outweighs the benefits of completing sewer and water main disconnections ahead of schedule and damaging underground facilities or workers. Balkan will never put ‘speed’ ahead of safety.
