Restoration of 1 & 9 Subway Tunnel & Stations

Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Five Star Electric completed the electrical work for the restoration of the 1 and 9 subway tunnel and stations. This was the first infrastructural project following the attack at the World Trade Center. The work included rebuilding the subway tunnel, tracks and station platforms. The Joint Venture team of AJ Pegno Construction Corp. and Tully Construction Co., the project’s prime contractor with New York City Transit, completed this intense project in eight months. Traditionally a project of this magnitude would take approximately 24 months to complete. However as a result of the importance of getting the New York City subway system up and running, this project became priority. Intensive daily meetings occurred each morning and a proactive approach by all team members facilitated this project’s fast track completion. The station was reopened before the first anniversary of 9/11 in 2002.
