The inspection and acceptance of the Smoke Control System for the first new train station to open in New York City in over a hundred years, required the expertise of a team consisting of Professional Engineers, Commissioning Agents and Certified Air Testing and Balancers. Mr. Hughes led the team that inspected the Smoke Control system, which is perhaps the largest and most complex in the City. It encompasses four new platforms and a shared mezzanine, approximately 150 feet below street level, a grand concourse stretching six city blocks approximately 50 feet below street level and connections to Grand Central Station, One Vanderbilt Building, the Biltmore Hotel, cross-connections to Metro North Railroad and future connections

blocks approximately 50 feet below street level and connections to Grand Central Station, One Vanderbilt Building, the Biltmore Hotel, cross-connections to Metro North Railroad and future connections to three other high-rise buildings. Smoke Control Special Inspections entailed review of all detection devices, duct leakage testing of all smoke control ducts, verification of all detection and system shut down alarm sequences, verification of all smoke control operation alarm sequences, verification of all smoke control equipment operated by alarm initiation, air flow measurement of exhaust and fresh air supply and verification that Smoke Control systems are maintained on Emergency Power Systems. The immense size of the spaces and air flow interactions with adjacent spaces required design engineering modifications to air flow programming to accommodate unanticipated as-built air flows. Ultimately air flow measurements witnessed by the Special Inspector were used by the design engineer in his finite element analysis model to determine that tenability in the spaces will be maintained. © MTA East Side Access.
