Construction Management / Construction Inspection

The Enhanced Station Initiative (ESI) Program focused on improving the customer experience by providing a State-of-Good-Repair in stations and the development of underlying station aesthetics through construction and design innovation. The Program included 31 pre-selected stations located in all five boroughs. The work included making the stations cleaner, brighter, and easier to navigate by utilizing means such as improved lighting, more intuitive wayfinding, and providing amenities such as Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity.
