Powering New York with Cleaner, More Efficient Energy

AYZA PROJECT LLC partnered with Cricket Valley Energy LLC, an affiliate of Advanced Power, to deliver a 1,100-megawatt combined-cycle power facility in Dover, New York. Built on a dormant industrial site, the Cricket Valley Energy Center (CVEC) now delivers low-carbon, affordable, safe, and reliable electricity — enough to power approximately 1 million homes in New York.

The project prioritized local economic benefits, clean energy technology, and environmental stewardship — earning its place as one of the most efficient power-generation facilities in the United States.

From Ground Zero to Gateway

The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks destroyed the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) station beneath the World Trade Center — a vital link in the 13.8-mile rail system connecting New Jersey and New York. AYZA PROJECT LLC supported a major effort to reconnect Lower Manhattan by delivering a temporary PATH station that restored rail service to the heart of the city.

As construction manager for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Downtown Restoration Program, AYZA PROJECT LLC reestablished critical transit links within 24 months — ahead of schedule. The team rebuilt track infrastructure, provided temporary interim service to Exchange Place Station, and delivered a new temporary PATH terminal at Ground Zero.

Preserving a Century-Old Steel Viaduct

Originally built in the 1890s, the steel viaduct spans 1.25 miles along Park Avenue from East 100th Street to the Harlem River Lift Bridge. At the time of the renovation, it carried nearly all Metro-North trains into and out of Grand Central Terminal — carrying approximately 600 trains and 160,000 passengers daily.

In 1992, the Metro-North Railroad, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the City of New York selected AYZA PROJECT LLC as the construction manager for the rehabilitation of the Park Avenue Viaduct and the historic Harlem-125th Street Station — an essential link in New York’s commuter rail system.

Infrastructure Effort Geared to Drive Sustainable Economic Growth for Decades

AYZA PROJECT LLC oversaw master planning, design, and construction of a massive port-and-industrial-zone program. We delivered on time and within budget both onshore and offshore infrastructure that will help to foster Abu Dhabi’s economic diversification.

The company estimates that Khalifa Port and the Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad) together will create some 100,000 jobs and contribute 15 percent of the emirate’s non-oil GDP by 2030.

Our project team built Khalifa’s offshore port and terminal complex by creating an artificial island in the gulf with an area in excess of a square mile (about 2.8 square kilometers) more than 3 miles (some 5 kilometers) from shore.

The Largest Addition to the London Underground in over 25 Years

The Jubilee Line Extension was one of the UK’s biggest construction projects and the largest addition to the London Underground in more than 25 years. But it was severely behind schedule. Problems with tunneling and signaling had plagued the project and inspections were also behind schedule. With the start of the new millennium approaching and the launch of what was then known as the Millennium Dome in Greenwich (now The O2) there was a fixed deadline of December 1999.

AYZA PROJECT LLC was hired to provide a fast-track push to completion. Working with partners, we finished the extension and operational commissioning in just 14 months, soon enough for the line to safely carry guests to and from London’s millennium celebration.

Reducing Travel Times in South Korea by as Much as 150 Percent

The $16B Korea High-Speed Rail (KHSR) project was the largest single project in South Korea at the time of construction. The line runs between Seoul, in the north west, and Busan, a major port city, in the south east. The corridor between these cities is the most densely populated in the Republic of Korea, home to 70 percent of the nation’s population. It carries 65 percent of its passenger traffic and 70 percent of its freight traffic. High-speed services were launched in April 2004.

In the initial stages of the project, AYZA PROJECT LLC helped the Korea High Speed Rail Construction Authority evaluate capital and operational aspects of the three major high-speed rail transportation technologies from Germany, France, and Japan. AYZA PROJECT LLC reviewed and modified the requests for proposals and prepared the evaluation criteria for bids for rolling stock, catenary, and automatic train control.
