New York City · NYCHA PACT
Low-voltage infrastructure for occupied NYCHA rehabilitation projects.
United Technologies Services Inc. (UTECH) has delivered network and low-voltage scope on numerous NYCHA PACT developments across Manhattan and the Bronx — building the cabling, risers and in-unit systems residents depend on, while working around the families who live there every day.
Project Experience
NYCHA Project Experience
Every project below was a full MDU build-out: core scanning and drilling, pipe-box riser construction, cabling into every unit, CPE and access point installation, rooftop antenna work, and final turn-up and activation. All of it was done during active renovation, alongside some of the city's most active PACT development and construction teams.
Metro North Plaza & Gaylord White Houses
- Full MDU build-out, every unit
- Core scanning, core drilling and pipe-box risers
- In-unit cabling with CPE / AP installation
- Rooftop antenna scope through turn-up and activation
Boston Secor, Boston Road Plaza & Middletown Plaza (BBM)
- Full MDU build-out across three developments
- Core scanning, core drilling and pipe-box risers
- In-unit cabling with CPE / AP installation
- Rooftop antenna scope through turn-up and activation
Northwest Bronx Scattered Sites
- Full MDU build-out across mid-rise, high-rise and walk-up buildings
- Hallway and in-unit surface raceway where walls could not be fished
- Rooftop conduit pathways and antenna scope
- Building-by-building install schedule coordinated with resident notices
Delivery & Compliance
What It Takes to Deliver Low Voltage on a NYCHA Rehab
A PACT gut rehab isn't a typical commercial job. The buildings are decades old, most units stay occupied, and compliance requirements reach well past the work itself. Here's what we plan for on every project.
01
Payroll & Compliance Paperwork
Certified Payroll & Davis-Bacon Compliant, submitted by Elation Systems or DOL Form WH-347. Weekly certified payroll and Section 3 reporting are prepared in-house. The GC and PACT partner never have to chase us for documentation.
02
Credentialed Crews
Field staff carry OSHA 30 and SST-10 credentials.
03
Working in Occupied Homes
- Install days grouped by building so management can issue resident notices in advance
- Tracking refused, no-access and “units to avoid” lists, with return visits scheduled
- Daily unit-by-unit reporting so owners know exactly what’s done
04
Pathways in Older Buildings
- Surface molding and raceway where masonry walls can’t be fished
- Riser coring with GPR scanning, plus rooftop conduit pathways
- Molding samples and mock-up units approved before full rollout
05
Many Stakeholders, One Schedule
PACT partner, GC, property management, ISP network vendor and security integrator all touch the same risers and IDFs. We coordinate pathways, rack space and device counts so trades aren’t working against each other.
06
Protecting the Work
Cable cuts and vandalism happen in occupied buildings. We log every incident, repair it, and document it through change orders — then test, label and certify everything at closeout.
