Power Plant & Pods Phase Percentage Completion: 16%
Project Start: Q4 2019
Anticipated Completion: Q4 2022

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
