This project consisted of replacement of the North wing roof and repair to the load bearing South wall. Deteriorating structural conditions resulted in visible sagging in the roof, bowing, undulating and cracking of the South wall. With a goal to preserve and reuse to the extent possible, the project consisted of removing the roof, reconstructing the south wall with salvaged bricks and matching mortar, and replacing/reusing rafters and slate roof tiles. The historic ornamental ridge crest was stripped of lead paint, repaired, repainted, and re-mounted.
Flatlick Branch Phase II Stream Restoration ProjectFairfax County
The Flatlick Branch Phase II Stream Restoration project included restoration of 4,600 linear feet of Flatlick Branch and its tributaries, provided a sustainable channel form, pattern and profile to meet today’s developed landscape, added in-stream habitat enhancement and flood plain restoration, rock structures to provide grade control throughout the channel and provide energy dissipation, and the planting of the stream areas with native vegetation.
Gallows Road and Prosperity Avenue ImprovementsFairfax County

Paul Springs Segment 1 & 2 Stream RestorationFairfax County
Restoration of approximately 1,800 linear feet of headwater tributaries of Paul Spring Branch that flow through Charles Goodman Park and Brickelmaier Park, and adjacent private properties.
The Telegraph Walkway Project was substantially completed on time and under budget on September 13, 2021. This project consisted of construction of 5’ concrete sidewalk, curb ramp, curb & gutter, drilled shaft for slope stability, RW-3, handrail, pavement mill and overlay, pavement marking, water line relocation and some other related items.
Since our New Jersey group first started in 2002, we've worked on hundreds of projects in the state. This is a selection of a few that we are most proud of.
The work on this project included investigation and repair to an 8-inch sewer line in Waterway Drive which had been previously lined with a plastic liner system. The project location was in Waterway Drive from Cavalier Court to the vicinity of Half Moon Circle. The project involved setting up a bypass system to remove sewage from the line so the pipe could be properly cleaned and inspected. Following this process, it was determined the plastic liner was causing capacity issues. It was determined that the liner could be repaired using internal methods and no excavation was needed. In addition, the five manholes associated with the segments of pipe in the project area were also rehabilitated. This project was substantially complete on June 25, 2021.
