Sandy Island Beach State Park Slope Repair NYS Office of General Services

Rainfall, elevated lake levels, and flooding have all contributed to erosion and the ultimate failure of a large section of the sand dune located along the shoreline of Lake Ontario at Sandy Island Beach State Park. CHA was called in by NYS Office of General Services, in conjunction with NYS Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP), to conduct an emergency inspection of a 300 to 500-foot section and present design options to repair the eroded slope before further State land is lost. #

Because of the expedited schedule associated with the emergency work, a subsurface exploration was not performed. Instead, CHA’s geotechnical engineers reviewed geologic maps and determined the subsurface conditions likely consist of loose sand deposits.

CHA developed three slope repair options and prepared a comparative analysis of each option for NYSOPRHP, including cost comparisons, stability, and durability estimations. The use of sand and concrete filled TrapBags was ultimately recommended. CHA mobilized a survey and inspection team to the site to aid in the preparation of a site plan to support the layout and design of the preferred option.

Old Fort Niagara Seawall Emergency Repairs NYS Office of General Services

More than 300 years old, Old Fort Niagara is comprised of roughly 23 acres at the mouth of the Niagara River. The Fort is historically significant and was the site of many 18th century battles. As such, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The site is currently used as a park and museum, and the location of historical battle reenactments.

In the 1840s, a seawall was constructed to improve the Fort’s defenses and protect the French Castle on the Fort, the oldest building in the Great Lakes Basin. In 2017, Lake Ontario’s pounding waves created a series of holes in part of the wall. CHA was called in by the NYS Office of General Services, in conjunction with NYS Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation, to conduct an emergency inspection of the wall to observe the extent of damage and determine whether the damage presented danger of imminent collapse.

The damage observed by CHA included missing stones and deteriorating mortar, with the most significant areas of concern along the eastern portion of the northfacing wall. After conducting a visual inspection of the wall and reviewing a previous inspection by another consultant, CHA concluded that the need to repair the masonry holes to prevent damage to the rubble core of the wall from further water and ice damage was the most immediate repair required. # 29

Battle Island State Park Golf Course Emergency Infrastructure Improvements NYS Office of General Services

CHA provided emergency engineering services for the rehabilitation of the irrigation system at the NYS Office of Parks & Recreation Battle Island State Park Golf Course. The system’s performance had shown gradual deterioration likely caused by silt accumulation and wear on the primary pump impeller. The primary pump motor starting equipment had also begun to malfunction. OPRHP was concerned that a lack of irrigation would cause further damage to the golf course.CHA developed a hydraulic model of the irrigation system to aid in the selection of appropriate pump sizes. In addition, CHA prepared a probable opinion # of construction cost for its proposed modifications. CHA recommended the use of a variable frequency drive (VFD) unit for the new vertical turbine pump motor, which would allow for a wide range of flows at relatively constant pressure. CHA proposed to replace the jockey pump in‐kind and store the existing pump as a spare. To accommodate modest increases to the estimated leak rate and ensure the jockey pump motor does not cycle too frequently, CHA recommended installing a slightly larger hydro‐pneumatic tank and raising the jockey “off” set point. Other recommendations included the removal of silt accumulations; inspection of interior wet well; replacement of faulty isolation valves; cleaning and repair of concrete inside pump building; and the installation of a new motor control panel, powered exhaust fan, humidity control mechanism, and permanent mechanism to reduce future silt build‐up.

Sing Sing Kill Bridge Inspection

NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation The Sing Sing Kill Bridge was constructed in 1839 and carries the Old Croton Aqueduct over the Kill approximately 60 ft. below. The structure is approx. 500 feet long and includes two primary stone arches and a small arch passageway.

The aqueduct conveyed drinking water from the Croton Reservoir to New York City. While no longer utilized for conveying water, the bridge now supports a walking trail that follows the entire alignment of the aqueduct. CHA conducted an inspection of the bridge and waste weir building to determine conditions. The work also included an assessment of infiltration of stormwater into the bridge which may be contributing to its deterioration. In order to control costs, CHA developed an innovative approach to inspect the bridge which limited both manpower and equipment requirements. CHA prepared a Program Phase Report that identified key findings and observations and provided recommendations for improvements. CHA also prepared a conceptual cost estimate for the recommended repairs.

Peebles Island Park Bleachery Building Stabilization

NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation CHA was responsible for determining the feasibility of stabilizing the Bleachery Building at Peebles Island State Park. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building has not been used since the early 1970s and has deteriorated to the point of being in danger of collapse. CHA completed a Program Phase Report assessing the potential stabilization of the structure for future use.

As part of the investigations, CHA tested the existing remaining wood frame, concrete piers, and the mortar associated with the building’s exterior masonry. In addition, since the building was used for a number of manufacturing processes, CHA conducted environmental testing to determine the presence of potentially hazardous materials. Several stabilization scenarios were identified and the report recommended extensive interior structural improvements designed to preserve and protect the exterior of the building and the existing wood frame members that were identified to be in satisfactory condition along with significant environmental remediation.

Following the Program Phase Report, CHA prepared construction documents specifying environmental remediation and building stabilization. CHA worked closely with New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation staff to identify key design elements that should be preserved or replicated during the design to preserve historically significant elements of the building.

Saratoga Spa State Park - Roosevelt II Bathhouse Renovation NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

The Roosevelt II Bathhouse was built in 1935 and, at the time, was considered one of the most modern bathhouses in the world. The 19,000 SF facility operated as a bathhouse from 1935 until 1942; had a variety of uses from the 1950’s to the 1980’s including storage, a health club, and park offices; and has been vacant since the late 1980’s.

CHA was initially called in 2013 to assist with Phase I of the project, which involved stabilization of the building to preserve it for future use within the park. This phase included abating a substantial amount of asbestos containing materials, select roof repair, and installation of new electric service.

Phase II of the project will rehabilitate the main lobby and adjacent public restrooms to provide “curb appeal” that will attract private developers and potential end users.

Exterior work involving entry doors, window and masonry restoration is also included in this phase.
