The New York City Housing Authority is building back safer, stronger and smarter by improving structural resiliency and infrastructure protection at Red Hook Houses. NYCHA’s Recovery and Resilience Department (R&R) is pushing design boundaries in building reinforcements, storm surge protection, and infrastructure upgrades. Below, please find the latest R&R construction update for Red Hook Houses.
Power Plant & Pods Phase Percentage Completion: 16%
Project Start: Q4 2019
Anticipated Completion: Q4 2022
Ongoing Activities:
• Testing of foundation piles for the new East Plant (formerly 590 Clinton Street)
o The piles will form the foundation of the new East Plant
o Tests are performed on site to confirm the piles are capable of holding the load of the structure as designed
o The East Plant will hold standby generators and boiler equipment above the flood level to provide full backup power and heat to NYCHA Red Hook buildings
• Wet and dry floodproofing of building basements to limit damage during a flood event
• Excavation for and instillation of new underground electrical, heating, and plumbing lines between buildings across the site
o The new electrical, heating, and plumbing lines will be installed throughout the site and will connect to the new utility buildings to service all of NYCHA Red Hook (see fourth photo above)
o This work requires the installation of temporary ADA-accessible building entryways
o These plans have been shared with property management, resident association presidents, and the FDNY
• Construction of utility pod (small building) foundations throughout the site
o The utility pods will house critical electrical and mechanical equipment above the flood elevation to better protect building services during an extreme weather event
Upcoming Activities:
• Pouring cement for the utility pod foundation pile caps next to buildings 13 (31 Centre Mall) and 3W (100 Dwight)
Other:
• Domestic gas service has been restored to buildings 11 and 13
