The High Line Moynihan Connector is a nearly 1,200 foot long walkway bridge that links the elevated High Line park with the Manhattan West development in NYC. Our Construction Engineering group worked with fabricator, Orange County Ironworks as their Specialty Structural Engineer (SSE) on the project.
Stability during erection was one of the main concerns at the onset because of the project’s unique structural system. The project’s large structural members and custom built-up sections, in combination with the cantilevering section and limit support points, presented constructability challenges.
Our team assisted with developing crane plans, shoring systems, and erection sequencing/stability plans to ensure a smooth and safe construction process. Additionally, we provided a wide range of delegated design tasks, such as perimeter protection systems and value engineering connection design.
The High Line Moynihan Connector extension runs along West 30th Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues and bend to the north at Dyer Avenue to reach the Manhattan West plaza above West 31st Street.
