Overview

The Homeport campus was severely damaged by flooding during Superstorm Sandy, leaving its buildings and site vulnerable to future storms. To prevent similar damage, the Administration, Warehouse, and Boiler buildings were demolished to make way for new storm-resilient facilities.

LiRo-Hill provided construction management-at-risk services, leading the team through all phases of the demolition — including project coordination, community outreach, engineering support, contract and permit management, subcontractor purchasing, and cost estimating.

About the Project

The project involved demolishing six site facilities, including water and fuel storage tanks, an electrical substation, oil treatment areas, SIMA pipe trench, and fencing. LiRo-Hill also reviewed environmental and demolition documents, handled permitting with DOB and DEP, and managed the full preconstruction process.

LiRo-Hill led a Community Outreach and EOP Program to minimize construction impacts on nearby homes and businesses. They addressed concerns about work hours, noise, and dust, and developed plans to reduce disruptions. The EOP Program also created training and job opportunities for low-income construction and administrative workers during the project.
