Nicholson Construction to Help Build Critical Infrastructure for Hudson Tunnel Project as Part of Joint Venture
Nicholson Construction is proud to announce its role in the Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP), a transformative 9-mile passenger rail track between New York and New Jersey. The project will improve rail capacity and reliability along the Northeast Corridor, the most heavily used passenger rail line in the country.
Nicholson will join forces with Treviicos to form Treviicos-Nicholson Joint Venture (TNJV). TNJV has been selected to construct the Hoboken Shaft, a key component of the HTP that will support the construction of a new, two-tube tunnel beneath the Hudson River, and ultimately the rehabilitation of the existing 115-year-old North River Tunnel.
Located at the intersection of the new Palisades Tunnel and the Hudson River Tunnel, the Hoboken Shaft will serve as a critical access point for the Tunnel Boring Machine installation and retrieval. TNJV’s work will include Diaphragm Wall installation and Rock Mass Grouting, two specialized techniques used to ensure the structural stability and ground water control necessary for successful tunneling operations.
“We are honored to be a part of a project that will have a lasting impact on rail transportation throughout the East Coast,” said Ryan Streets, Senior VP of Major Projects. “This is the type of large-scale, technically complex work that Nicholson thrives on, combining expertise in geotechnical construction with a strong partnership approach through TNJV.”
