It offers extensive field space, hosts a recreation center, and houses the Hudson River Park Trust–which oversees the park and 36 piers. The trust tasked EDG with assessing and rehabilitating the aging Pier 40 parking deck, which is more than 40 years old and needed significant repairs. Understanding the pier’s role as a critical revenue source and community asset, our experts delivered long-term enhancements to durability while minimizing disruptions to operations at every step.

We considered multiple repair strategies to find the most cost-effective solution. The client’s priority for a watertight roof deck guided EDG design of a new top slab deck and installing a cutting-edge waterproofing system to meet current and future needs . As the largest revenue generator for the Hudson River Park Trust, it was essential for our team to phase construction and keep the parking facility operating with minimal disruptions.

Our thorough assessment and strategic planning avoided design changes during construction and kept things moving efficiently. The timely completion of each design phase allowed Pier 40 to continue serving the community and the Hudson River Park Trust without interruption. The project reflects EDG’s commitment to precision and a team effort for our experts, the Trust’s team, and the contractor.
