Location: Bronx, New York
Client: New York City Parks Department
Project: Bronx Concrete Park – Civil Engineering
Design for Retaining Walls.

Newport Engineering, P.C. designed varying height concrete retaining walls to support a 20’ Wide public esplanade (pedestrian and bicycle paths) as part of a revitalization plan along the Bronx River for the New York City Department of Parks. Newport performed on-site soil borings and test holes. The design included subsurface stabilization through the use of helical pier supports, design of grade beams, and design of reinforcement steel and poured concrete retaining walls. Newport completed the design in Spring 2007 and project is in construction.
