Construction Logistics for East Side Access CM006 Manhattan North Structures-A Study from Queens to Manhattan

摘要

This paper describes the logistical challenges that were encountered during the construction of East Side Access (ESA) CM006 (Manhattan North Structures). While the daily logistics of transporting materials, personnel and concrete throughout the construction site may seem mundane (given the sheer enormity of ESA), this is a critical operation that directly impacts the project schedule. Coordinating the delivery of the necessary materials is a complex endeavor, given the high demand, the dense urban setting and the large geographical scope of the project. The specific delivery system for concrete and other materials to the tunnel site will be discussed in detail in this paper.
