NYCHA Coney Island
NYCHA Sandy Recovery Program - Coney Island Houses 4 & 5
Hurricane Sandy Recovery & Resiliency Project involving the construction of two new elevated electrical service buildings designed above FEMA flood elevation requirements, incorporating hardened infrastructure and backup generation systems to mitigate future weather-related outages. The scope included the supply and installation of (2) 4000A Con Edison utility services, (3) 500 kW emergency generators with automatic transfer switches, primary switchgear, distribution panels, and vertical riser systems. Work also included mineral-insulated (MI) cabling, fully integrated fire alarm systems, low-voltage security and communications infrastructure, and complete interior and exterior lighting systems with advanced controls. The project reflects Kanta’s execution of resilient, high-capacity electrical infrastructure in a post-disaster, multi-building public housing environment.
Recovery & Resilience Program
Kanta delivered comprehensive electrical and low-voltage infrastructure as part of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Sandy Recovery Program for Coney Island Sites 4 & 5, a large-scale resiliency initiative developed in response to Hurricane Sandy.
The project involved the construction of two new elevated electrical service buildings designed above FEMA flood elevation requirements, fundamentally reconfiguring the site’s electrical infrastructure to protect critical systems from future storm surge and flooding events. These hardened structures serve as the backbone of a resilient power distribution network supporting multiple residential buildings.
Kanta’s scope included the installation of (2) 4000A Con Edison utility services, primary switchgear, distribution panels, and vertical riser systems, delivering high-capacity power throughout the development. The project also incorporated (3) 500 kW emergency generators with automatic transfer switches, ensuring reliable backup power and continuity of operations during outages.
Additional systems included mineral-insulated (MI) cabling for critical circuits, fully integrated fire alarm systems, low-voltage security and communications infrastructure, and complete interior and exterior lighting systems with advanced controls. Execution required phased construction within an occupied residential environment, detailed coordination with utility providers and multiple trades, and strict adherence to NYCHA, FEMA, and public-sector compliance requirements.
This project highlights Kanta’s expertise in delivering resilient, high-performance electrical infrastructure in post-disaster recovery environments, with a focus on long-term durability, safety, and operational reliability.
