The MBTA Green Line Relocation Project runs from Haymarket
Station to Science Park Station and is the last part of the North Station
Transportation Improvement Project (NSTIP) and is one of J.F. White's
more intricate projects. This project is technically rigorous, calling on J.F. White's expertise in top down construction, underpinning, demolition, slurry wall installation, deep foundation drilling, transit track construction, signal communications, traction power, electrical substations and structural steel erection.
Two key aspects of this project included underpinning of the Fleet
Center (now the TD Garden) façade and construction of the new Green Line Tunnel in a top down fashion. This enabled construction of the new tunnel while preserving the integrity of the Fleet Center and maintaining clear traffic patterns on Causeway Street. In the shadows of the Fleet Center this methodology kept uninterrupted access to the many events featured at the Fleet Center while construction continued below the street.
This project demonstrates J.F. White's ability to manage the phased
construction of a complex set of tasks within a confined and congested work environment. |
