Project Spotlight! New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection interviewed Project Manager, Mark Sprengel, about our work on the Official: Liberty State Park Revitalization Program. Environmental Scientists, Kali Primiani and Matt Heye, are featured in the below reel performing a slug test in the Central Railroad of New Jersey Train Shed. This test will aid in determining recharge rates in the surrounding aquifer so accurate pumping rates can be calculated for dewatering during inspection of foundation piles which will be needed when restoring this historic structure.

This program will transform by adding one hundred acres of active recreational, arts, and cultural spaces along its perimeter, with a vibrant central park at its heart. The development will not only create world-class natural landscapes that bolster against flooding and but also provide valuable spaces for local communities to engage in , , and . This project aims to significantly enhance quality of life for nearby residents, offering them greater access to green spaces and opportunities for connection and learning. Matrix is thrilled to be apart of such an impactful and exciting project!
