The East Village Emergency Repair
Harris was called on site early Tuesday morning after the building became aware of a leaking water main while another utility contractor was working in the roadway. The utility contractor contacted DEP to determine the source of the water leaking into their excavation. It was determined that a thirty-unit building had been suffering from a leak, which had to be repaired on an emergency water line repair basis. DEP issued the building a 3-day notice to repair the water line, and Harris began excavating the very next morning. We can take care of repairs, but we can also take care of them quickly and efficiently!

Upon excavating, Harris encountered a peculiar situation: the existing 2” water line had been connected to the city main with two different undersized “tap connections.” DEP allows for one tap connection only per water main. Harris now had to replace the entire water line, in addition, the two older tap connections had to be plugged and a new 1 ½” connection was to be installed.

The entire process was completed in two days after Harris scheduled a tap installation with DEP for the very next day.

Water Main Upgrade Bedford Hotel
The Bedford Hotel in Midtown Manhattan was renovating the building. As part of the renovation, the DOB required the building to upgrade the size of their sprinkler main. Harris was scheduled to perform the work over the weekend as the DOT issued restricted working hours for weekends only. Harris began excavating the first weekend in preparation for the new 6 sprinkler main installation and DEP inspections.
