EXP Services P.C., a global engineering, architecture, design and consulting firm, has been selected with lead contractor Skanska to perform design-build services for the NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) replacement of 21 escalators throughout the city. Set to run through February 2027, the US$146-million endeavor includes the replacement of 21 escalators across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. It also includes the replacement of escalator machine-room equipment. As the lead designer, EXP will be responsible for all phases of design in collaboration with all disciplines. Throughout the project’s construction, temporary stair handrails and guardrails, in compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, will be installed. The project consists of the removal of one escalator at the 51st Street station and replacement of two escalators at the Park Place station, one escalator each at the High Street and Franklin Avenue stations, 10 escalators at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Street station and six escalators at the 21st Street-Queensbridge station.
