Project Name: Penn State Access (Design Build)

Location: Newyork, USA

Client: Metropolitan Transport Authority

Project Overview: Penn Station Access (PSA) is a public works project underway by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York City. The goal of the project is to allow Metro-North Railroad commuter trains to access Penn Station on Manhattan's West Side, using existing trackage owned by Amtrak. Metro-North trains currently terminate exclusively at Grand Central in Midtown Manhattan.

The project is scheduled to complement Grand Central Madison, which opened as part of East Side Access in 2023, and will commence in two separate phases. The first phase, which is under construction, will add four new stations along the Hell Gate Line (part of the Northeast Corridor) in the Bronx and route some New Haven Line trains to Penn Station. The second phase, which is unfunded, would add two more stations along the Empire Connection/West Side Line on Manhattan's West Side; this would be served by the Hudson Line.

Project Name: US 270 Widening Project (PS&E)

Location: Dewey County, Oklahoma, USA

Client: Oklahoma DOT

Project Overview: The US-270 Widening Project in Oklahoma is a significant infrastructure improvement initiative aimed at enhancing safety and traffic flow in the region. The project primarily involves widening US-270 from a two-lane to a four-lane highway, which is crucial for supporting increased traffic volumes and improving connectivity. The corridor was split into several construction projects. 

• The first project begins north of the town of Seiling at the US-270/US-183 junction and proceeds southerly approximately 3.5 miles through the town of Seiling. This was a turn key project to widen US-270 from 2 lanes to 4 lanes with several constraints and challenges in Seiling. The bridge over Seiling Creek was widened symmetrically to accommodate 4 lanes of traffic.
• The second project was an additional 1.5 miles of 4 lane undivided construction to the south of Seiling. This project also included a symmetric widening of the bridge over Cheyenne Creek.
• The last 4 miles consisted of a 4 lane divided facility with improvements to the existing lanes to accomplish needed safety improvements.
