SPECIALTY ITEMS

Soil Nailing of Foundations

​

An earth-retention technique where we went down 20 feet below the existing building’s exterior wall, made a vertical cut, sprayed concrete (shotcrete) with 20-foot-long threaded rods into the ground with anchors and filled that with concrete to stabilize, thus enabling us to build a basement next to a fully operational facility. See Christian Health Care Center.

​

Lake/Pond Construction

​

Large excavation adjacent to existing lake/pond; adding a clay liner and new intake equipment for pump house; and adding it to the existing lake/pond; plus an entirely new pump house for the irrigation system at the country club.

​

Solar Panels

​

Our own building in Ridgewood is equipped with solar panels — almost 5,000 square feet.

​

Green Roof

​

A roof of a fitness club building that is covered with vegetation and a growing medium (topsoil), planted over a waterproofing membrane. See Equinox.   

​

Geothermal Heating and Cooling

​

Tapping into the free energy provided by the below ground temperature consistency. See Bolger Community Center.

​

Pool Construction

​

We have constructed several new exterior and interior pools, both Olympic size and very small, and completed renovations of the pool ceiling at the Ridgewood YMCA using a temporary platform of steel bar joints that we designed. See Leonard Kohl.

​

Building Shoring

​

Removal of all interior load bearing masonry walls of a two-story building and replace them with a new structural steel frame, complete with new footings while working around temporary steel shoring.
