Since 2011, Ben has worked within our Transportation team as a project manager, discipline lead, and project engineer. As a civil engineer and office leader, he helps clients navigate the evolving constraints of New York City infrastructure, and he enjoys teaching others about the city¡¯s history and exploring innovative design solutions. He¡¯s best known for leading large public infrastructure projects and establishing that all agency stakeholders are on the same page¡ªno easy feat in a complex metropolis with overlapping responsibilities to stakeholders.
A project that exemplifies Ben¡¯s skill is the Lower Concourse Infrastructure project, where he balanced many complex design challenges, each with distinct stakeholders. These challenges involved abutting two bridge approaches, a six-way intersection with an interstate off-ramp and slip lanes, and a new pile-supported sewer weaving around bridge support foundations and over a subway tunnel and an interceptor.
When he isn¡¯t overseeing infrastructure work or co-leading our New York office, Ben enjoys travel, backpacking, playing board games, and acting on stage.
