In rehabilitating over two miles of New York's busiest elevated expressway viaducts, KiSKA-USA has been able to provide high quality and low cost through implementation of budget controls, aggressive scheduling and innovative engineering. The rehabilitation of New York City's expressway viaducts required full deck replacement, bearing replacement for box girders through a 1,300 ton jacking system, the placement of high tech topping over millions of pounds of new steel, seismic retrofitting, and the provision of Class A containment systems for the removal of lead paints. These operations had to be performed while maintaining traffic flow through phasing of the construction. KiSKA-USA successfully rehabilitated complex steel structures for the NYC Transit System, and renovated and upgraded electrical and signal systems on major subway lines, including the addition of a three-coat paint system. Kiska also carried out SSPC SP-2 E-3 lead paint removal with Class 3P containment.
