GEI Consultants | City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 61 <br />Chelsea Piers: Piers 59, 60, and 61 <br />New York, NY | Chelsea Piers Management <br />The Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex is a 28-acre waterfront <br />sports village located between 17th and 23rd Streets along the Hudson <br />River in Manhattan. Situated on Piers 59, 60, and 61, the Complex supports <br />a variety of sports, dining, and professional facilities and serves as a major <br />resource for public recreation and waterfront access. <br />Understanding the historical nature of the piers’ construction, Chelsea Piers has retained <br />the services of GEI’s waterfront engineers to furnish a suite of consulting services as part of a <br />comprehensive maintenance plan for the facility’s waterfront assets. Working collaboratively <br />with Chelsea Pier’s team of contractors, engineers, and facility managers, the GEI team’s primary <br />services for this client have included underwater inspections of submerged components— <br />including over 12,000 timber pile locations—and reviewing recently installed construction and <br />repairs for quality control and adherence to design specifications. <br />In addition, GEI staff developed a customized database application that tracks the historical <br />conditions and repair status of each pile element supporting piers 59, 60, and 61. This <br />database exports to Google Earth to graphically depict everything from condition grades to <br />construction progress. <br />Key challenges have included: <br />• Comprehensive underwater inspection of over 12,000 pile elements to determine current <br />levels of deterioration in comparison to historic findings of previous inspection eff orts <br />• Flexible scheduling of underwater inspections on an on-call basis to review construction <br />activities and meet critical project milestones <br />• Coordination among multiple contractor, engineer, and management entities <br />DATES <br />2016-Ongoing <br />CLIENT REFERENCE <br />MICHAEL BRAITO <br />Senior Vice President, <br />Chelsea Piers <br />braitm@chelseapiers.com <br />KEY ELEMENTS <br />• Underwater Inspection <br />• Construction Support <br />• Waterfront Facility <br />Management <br />• Database Management
