Overview: The deteriorated concrete sections of the platform deck were replaced with corrosion resistant FRP deck panels. Each side platform section was 220 ft long and 8 ft wide for this Staten Island Railroad station. Panels were 31.5 feet long for fast installation. Supported on concrete piers, the panels were cross-sloped for water drainage. The top surface has a shop applied non-slip overlay that matched the color of the adjacent concrete surfaces. Warning tactiles with a photoluminescent stripe completed the safety features. Rub rail was included.
Each side platform was installed during a one-night period without any impact on the train schedule or riders.
