MTA Coney Island Rail Yard Flood Wall
OVERVIEW
During Hurricane Sandy, surging floodwaters swamped this 75-acre yard at Coney Island. Seawater from the Atlantic damaged switching and signaling equipment, and compromised critical infrastructure that provides storage and maintenance facilities for approximately 1,800 subway cars. Langan provided survey and geotechnical engineering services, and assisted the design team throughout the planning, design, and construction administration phases of this long-term flood mitigation/resiliency systems project.
