Improving Subway Ventilation

Subway ventilation is a key issue in planning and upgrading lines in the case of a fire or other emergency. To assist NYC Transit in the upgrade of subway ventilation systems, the Berger team is evaluating the impact of the proposed construction on air quality, noise and traffic within the city. To ensure that the upgrades cause minimal disruption, Berger prepared a detailed traffic model to analyze pedestrian movement within the stations and on sidewalks and identified any adverse impacts of the proposed construction on local businesses.
