Bronx-Whitestone
Bridge
|
|
As part of the recent rehabilitation of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge,
Nab removed existing stiffening trusses which were added to
the bridge during the mid 1940s. The bridge, built in 1939, was
designed and built without the trusses, used to stiffen the bridge.
Once the trusses were removed, Nab added wind fairings, wedge-shaped
fiberglass panels. This was the first application of composite wind
fairings on a major suspension bridge. Now completed,
the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge has been restored to its sleek former
beauty as designed by famed bridge builder, Othmar Ammann.

Throgs
Neck Bridge
|
|
Nab
Construction recently rehabilitated the Throgs Neck Bridge
which spans the Long Island Sound. The Throgs Neck Bridge, opened
in 1961, provides a vital link between the Bronx and Queens.
Nab removed and replaced deteriorated sections of stringers,
replaced floor truss battens, reinforced stringer webs and replaced
lateral bracing stiffener angles. The steel repairs were performed
with minimal interruption to the 150,000 vehicles that use the bridge
daily. Careful planning was necessary since repairs required jacking
the existing structure under live load.

Park
Avenue Viaduct
|
|
Built
between 1892 and 1894, the Park Avenue Viaduct carries more than
530 trains a day into and out of Grand Central Terminal. Nab was
General Contractor for the rehabilitation of the deteriorated mile-long,
four-track-wide stretch from 110th to 132nd Street, and restoration
of the passenger station at 125th Street.
The elevated track deck rested on three corroded north-south steel
girders. Nab designed, fabricated, and bolted onto the girders,
steel reinforcement plates that fit each weakened area.
