PANYNJ WTC Vehicle Security Center & Tour Bus Parking Facility

New York, NY

Ellana provided construction cost estimating and project controls services for the four story 295,700sf vehicle and tour bus parking and screening facility. The structure which is a mix of structural steel and concrete on deck with cast in place walls was built to the standards for all the buildings at the WTC site. One of the tasks we were assigned with is to keep the overall cost split into East and West because the Deutsche Bank occupies half of the site and the construction could not get started until the building was demolished. Due to the complex nature of the project, the estimating team spent extra effort in coordinating the trades and various design aspects of the project as the design evolved. In addition, the project site was landscaped to become Liberty Park, since the majority of the building is below grade, and contained within the WTC “bathtub”.
