MTA: Rising Sea Levels Are Damaging The Subway.... South Ferry (1)

One of the city’s newest subway station is already showing cracks.

The South Ferry subway terminal is sprouting leaks that are causing water damage to the newly tiled walls of the renovated station that underwent a $530 million facelift three years ago.

MTA CEO Joseph Lhota said rising sea levels coupled with poorly sealed walls led to leaks in the station, which opened in 2009.

“As part of the renovations there is some leakage coming through and you can see it on the tiles,” Lhota said. “What’s happening is that it was not properly sealed and what’s also happening is that the water table is rising.”

Lhota said the waters of New York Harbor have risen since the project started in 2005, and the MTA is working with the station’s contractor to make repairs.

Id have to go for improper sealing. I'd have a serious chat with the contractor & have him fix the problem or spend years in litagation. When the MTA has a situation that can have blame assessed (remember Pullman-Standard) the contractors ass will be in court for the forseeable future.
As for the water table rising, in that short period of time the rising, if any, would be miniscule to say the least.
That arguement won't hold any water. (sorry)

"renovated station that underwent a $530 million facelift"

I think that is stretching the definitions of "renovated" and "facelift" a bit.

Didn't need to ... we all now know that it's really gnomes in Finland emptying their water tank that's causing all that. :)

He has to say something.

You don't think they are going to admit to poor planning and INCOMPETENT project management.

I'll bet that proper waterproofing was even in the project specs.

so they did a typical suck job, and instead of finding the money of why this is the case, we're blaming a tidal wave?

I just had a thought (a strange occurrence I agree).

Based on what the tiles in SF look like I shudder to think about what is or isn't in the walls behind them.

I get a strange feeling that in order to fix the problem - long term, at some point they are going to have close the new station for a while and re-open the original outer loop station (they'll have to put the turnstiles back in place).
