Located in Andover’s historic district, the 10,500-sq-ft, three-bay facility triples the residential area’s firefighting capacity.

On June 21, 2021, a barge carrying a new docking entrance for the super flood basin at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard left contractor Cianbro Corp.’s Ricker’s Wharf location in Portland, Maine, marking completion of one of the most unique structures the company has ever built.

Designed and constructed to meet specialized needs of the Cotting School student body, the 25,000-sq-ft addition—dubbed the Campus Center of Excellence—offers students the opportunity to test skills, boost confidence, practice teamwork and expand imaginations.

To keep up with global shipping standards and stay competitive, the Massachusetts Port Authority launched the Conley Terminal modernization program in 2014. As part of the $850-million effort by the agency, known also as Massport, the $215-million New Berth 10 project was designed and constructed to provide 1,300 linear ft of new space that can accommodate larger container ships—some up to 22 shipping containers wide.

The project involved providing a new source of clean drinking water for 322 residences and businesses in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., after a groundwater pollution plume was discovered.

The 53,285-sq-ft project serves as a key community gathering place, with social, education, health and cultural offerings.

The project, which was similar to building a small city, represented the first major theme park built in the Northeast in decades.

The project provided a premium residential option for University of Buffalo students in a community that includes townhome-type housing along with the more traditional mid-rise dorm.

This unique renovation of an 85-year-old Manhattan distillery included a five-level structure with two kitchens, a main floor restaurant, bars, event space, three elevator cars and a lounge.

For this $10.5-million capital improvement project, a complete redesign at completion midpoint was required when the specifications did not match up with the existing site conditions.
