Water Main Break in Upper West Side

Challenge

On January 13th at 5am a 3-foot water main broke sending over 500,000 gallons of water rushing down Broadway and turning the streets between West 61st and West 65th into a river.

Approach

NYC & Con Ed Crews worked for over 3 hours to shut off the water but by that time many of the local building’s basement and utility rooms had already been flooded. Once the water had subsided many building owners were left with damaged service equipment including boiler rooms full of dirt and sand and incapable of providing heat and hot water to their tenants.

Solution

Controlled Combustion were contacted by two of the affected buildings to supply and install Mobile Boilers for temporary heat and hot water. Once contracts were signed we sprung into action. Our expeditors worked with our licensed professionals to obtain DOT, DOB Boiler & DOB Electrical Permits for the Mobile Boilers. Our Project Management Team worked on assembling the necessary Field Teams of Electricians, Pipe Fitters, Welders, Technicians and Foremen. Our Foreman surveyed each job to determine the best place to deliver and place each Mobile Boiler as well as how and where to connect to each buildings infrastructure. Our Procurement Team secured the properly sized Mobile Boilers and the necessary pipes, valves, fittings, wiring and ancillary equipment required. Once boots were on the ground the Foremen and Field Teams worked tirelessly against ever changing conditions as the disaster recovery efforts ensued. Our Foremen coordinated with members of Con Edison, NYC DOB Boiler Division and NYC Emergency Response & Intergovernmental Service Division during the entire process. To ensure the tenants don’t face anymore heat and hot water interruptions our Controlled Monitoring System (CMS) is being utilized to ensure proper operation and fast response to failures that might occur with the mobile boilers.
