Fema Finance of 29 million US dollars, which will be awarded to Brooklyn Navy Yard in January, will replace existing boilers and heating oil tanks and other important infrastructures in the development manufacturer and in the Tech -Hub in New York City as a storm strengthening .
The Democrats of the New York Senate, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and Rep. Nydia Velazquez (DN.Y.) gave the financing to the replacement of equipment in building 41a and increase the system over the flood heights at the former 300 hectare marine shipbauer that increase miles from the East River in Brooklyn, ny along three threesome
“As one of the leading industrial hubs in New York City, we are proud to accommodate more than 550 companies and 13,000 employees, but we also know that we are susceptible to extreme weather events,” says Lindsay Greene, President and CEO of CEO von The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp., a non -profit company that acts as a real estate developer and real estate manager of Yard for its owner, The City. “This federal prize will help us restore and modernize the campus infrastructure, which was badly damaged by the hurricane Sandy.”
“We are currently outlining a project time bar that includes the evaluation of the infrastructure and the design phase for Bau 41a as the next steps, followed by the distribution of procurement or request to terminate a contractor” later this year. “
The hurricane Sandy brought 80 miles per hour of wind and 14 feet storm surge, which caused damage to the farm worth $ 100 million in 2012, says the resilience strategy, a 147-page report. When 48 inches of “Brackwasser” rose 41a above the finished floor of the building, electric engines, cabling, cables, sanitary, insulating and control instruments for the steam boilers and the fuel oil storage system in the building were detailed, it finds that.
Since then, this and more damage and more have underlined “a proactive, innovative strategy for promoting climate adjustment and protecting the court's infrastructure business,” the report said.
The Navy Yard and his consultant in Westford, mass. Ramboll Engineering have identified “risks, restrictions and opportunities”, the company said. His goals include the development of “protective measures to support the [its] Mission, historical interior and work weakness and the integration of the coast of resilience in design solutions, ”it says in the coast.
Ramboll, with his parent in Denmark, employed Scalgo, a Danish modeling platform that was recently expanded as a member of the Navy Yard tech in the US says. This included 1% extreme water level events in 2018 in 2050 and N 2100. For floods on a rainfall base, the scenarios included a storm organizer of 1% return of 60 minutes in 2018, 2050 and 2080.
“Our strategy for resilience includes an integrated approach that examines composite sources for floods and multifunctional flood protection measures,” said the company. The preliminary considerations include usable flood barriers to protect building scope that can match industry trends and can achieve simple storage and assembly.
For rainwater management, Ramboll can integrate a blue-green infrastructure (elements into an improved open space. This sustainable approach to the administration of the urban flood risk integrates parts of urban landscapes and natural water. .
The Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1801 served as a shipbuilding center and was in constant operation until 1966 when it was shut down and sold to the city – with its greatest expansion since the Second World War.
