NYC Parks Asser Levy Recreation Center Rehabilitation

New York, NY

Cost estimating for the existing recreation centers facilities to bring up to code and comply with FEMA flood resiliency measures. A variety of options were investigated, from building a new generator and boiler housing unit outside the existing building envelope to raising as much of the existing equipment internally and replacing with new as required. The mechanical rooms were to be provided with submarine doors and floodproofed as well as provided wet floodproofing for the buildings exterior envelope. The center is to remain in operation during construction procedures which requires exterior temporary generators, heaters/boilers, and pool filtration and chlorination systems depending on the option chosen by the Parks department.
