Project Overview

Fort Miller manufactured over 3,300 structural and architectural precast concrete elements (mezzanine beams, upper-level beams, groin ribs, deck panels, platform panels, wall panels, smoke exhaust panels, and stairs) for The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA’s) Grand Central Terminal– East Side Access project in Manhattan NYC, NY. A public works project to bring the Long Island Railroad to a new station below the existing and historical Grand Central Terminal.

Our in-house engineering staff completed a total of 462 custom shop drawings for 313 unique precast component mark-numbers. All precast elements were poured using 28 different types of wood and steel forms, most of which were fabricated in-house.

All precast elements were fabricated in our Greenwich, NY yard and delivered via flatbed trailer on approximately 1,300 loads to a storage yard in Queens, NY (180 miles away). From the storage yard in Queens, the contractor delivered each unit inside the cavern where it was installed with a crane, piece by piece. From a logistics standpoint, building this train terminal within an existing mined cavern is like building a ship within a bottle.

These photos represent just a few of the thousands of precast elements we fabricated. White and gray concrete mixes along with smooth and sandblasted finishes were utilized to fulfill the architectural requirements of the project.
