Construction includes demolition, concrete foundations, pre-cast concrete panel exterior, a glass and metal panel tower control cab (upper) enclosure, as well as site work and fit-out. Part of the contract is the removal and clearing of approximately 22 acres of trees and brush to improve the sightlines to the runways for the new tower. Provisions and infrastructure will be incorporated for new Air National Guard, National Weather Service and airport communications, antennas, and weather equipment. The existing Air Traffic Control Tower will be demolished and removed once the new facility is fully commissioned.

This building serves as the New MH-11 garage for the New York Department of Sanitation in Upper Manhattan. The existing 90,000-square-foot renovation included a complete replacement and upgrade to all existing MEP systems, creation of administrative offices, and locker rooms to support trash collection and street sweeping staff.

The ground-up 10,000-square-foot addition created the critical mechanics space for truck maintenance & repair, vehicle washout, and winter operations storage & support. Site improvements included an underground diesel storage tanks, fuel island, site walls, plow racks and parking lot for all MH-11 trucks.

The new headquarters operates the state’s only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-certified shellfish microbiology laboratory to ensure that the more than one million acres of shellfish growing areas throughout New York’s marine waters meet the stringent requirements of the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP). The lab must complete FDA-approved proficiency testing twice per year to maintain its FDA certification and is evaluated by the FDA every three years for NSSP compliance and recertification.

This project received the ASCE 2022 Project of the Year Building Award. It was also recognized as Top Government Project at the 2022 Long Island Business News Real Estate, Architecture & Engineering Awards.

Both the Westchester and Rockland Landings are located less than a mile from the nearest downtown areas on their respective side. The Landings features a welcome center, outdoor pavilion, interactive displays, and public art. Restrooms are located in each welcome center, which also includes an interactive kiosk to learn more about local restaurants and attractions.

To accentuate the new landings, New York State Thruway Authority partnered with ArtsWestchester and the Arts Council of Rockland to commission artwork across the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Path. The Public Art program includes five sculptures, four bicycle racks, and a mural, all by New York artists.

The pedestrian paths and scenic overlooks are open to the public.

The construction of six new belvederes, or scenic overlooks, that are part of the new bridge’s shared bike and pedestrian path bring much-needed outdoor social space to the Lower Hudson Valley. These resting points reflect the culture and history of the area and provide a new connection for non-motorized transport in the region, offering an exciting recreational opportunity that doesn’t currently exist in Rockland or Westchester counties.

The belvederes each have a unique theme and name—Fish and Ships, Painter’s Point, River Crossing, Half Moon, Tides of Tarrytown, and Palisades—illustrated by different design concepts, which required the construction of one-of-a-kind sculpted seating areas of stainless steel, glass, granite and wood. EW Howell worked with specialty engineers and the project architect, HDR, to develop final designs for the glass parapet enclosure, to provide unobstructed views from each belvedere. This was a challenge due to the strict tolerances of the bridge, wind load requirements, and bridge deck curved contour profiles.

Work began on the facility in January 2009 and concluded in March 2012. EW Howell Construction Group’s Project Manager on the project was responsible for overseeing operational aspects of the field and office teams, ensuring project compliance with company policies, providing schedule updates, keeping the project on track with schedule milestones, and monitoring the project’s final considerations.

The Yaphank Correctional Facility required approximately 500,000 square feet of masonry, coupled with mortar, rebar, backup block in some areas and three-course-thick security walls in certain sections. In corrections projects, security-focused features are part of the territory. It was vital that EW Howell worked with the corrections officers to understand their needs and how the finished facility had to operate.

One of the facility’s most interesting features is its direct-supervision security system. With state-of-the-art security equipment, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office can effectively monitor and control the inmate population with minimal staff.

Designed by Wiedersum Associates Architects, this $130 million project is the largest in size and scope for Suffolk County since the 1970s.
