Projects

THAYER ACADEMY ATHLETIC FIELDS BRAINTREE, MA

SMG collaborated with Tetra Tech on a Design/Build effort to develop a program to create three soccer fields and a combination football/softball field, including fencing system to establish safety from the adjacent Amtrak Train Tracks. The project offered two major challenges; the removal of a large quantity of ledge adjacent to an existing water storage fire protection tank, and the existence of a high pressure gas main within the 14-acre field complex. The team looked at various options in an effort to achieve the most costeffective design for the Academy. Solutions included designing of subsurface drainage systems and adjusting earthwork elevations. Planning future expansion of a field house and additional parking was also included in the project.

LOWE’S W. BRIDGEWATER, MA

SMG was involved at inception working with the client and civil engineers to design the project to minimize earthwork costs, and build the project while relocating overhead electric and telephone services underground to an existing cellular/emergency services tower. A road widening, and new signalization of the entrance intersection was also part of the offsite mitigation work under the direction of The Site Management Group

LOVELANE SPECIAL NEEDS RIDING PROGRAM FACILITY LINCOLN, MA

Lovelane Special Needs Riding Program offers a therapeutic riding program to special needs and severely handicapped children. SMG led the Design/Build effort for construction of a yearround riding facility. Working closely with the Client, the SMG team successfully managed the municipal approval process and completed the project within the specified opening date. Through value engineering and conscientious construction management cost saving techniques, the school was also able to purchase many additional features and upgrades to the program which were not included in the original control estimate. The facility is a project we are very proud of and know the children and families will enjoy for many years to come.

NINE WEST PLAZA WESTBORUGH, MA

All tenants were delivered their units on time and on budget.

OCTOBER HILL COMMERCIAL CENTER HOLLISTON, MA

This client was looking to construct a 60,000 square foot commercial/industrial complex on an in-fill site. The site had a host of permitting challenges including septic requirements, wetlands, steep grades, and poor soil conditions. The team successfully worked through the permitting issues without construction delay. The complex is currently under construction and slated for completion in the fall of 2008.

PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATES MEDICAL CENTER W. BRIDGEWATER, MA

SMG was selected to review the feasibility of constructing a new medical office complex at the location of the client’s existing office. The site posed several issues including poor soils for the installation of the septic system, wetlands, and a protected aquifer. In addition, the client wished to remain in operation at the site during most of the construction. SMG and its design team successfully resolved the technical issues, kept the medical office open throughout construction, and delivered the completed new office building on time and within budget.

MAGIC GARDEN CHILDREN’S CENTER LINCOLN, MA

The construction and logistics of the Magic Garden Children’s Center posed many challenges. The proposed privately run preschool was to be constructed within a school complex owned and operated by the Town of Lincoln. All work needed to be designed and constructed during the 8-week school summer vacation. SMG collaborated effectively with School Department officials and the Preschool’s Trustees to complete the work and allow the children to enjoy their new facility without any delays. The project involved converting five middle school classrooms into two preschool classrooms, bathrooms, and administrative offices, an outdoor play area and reconstruction of the existing parking areas.

CHELSEA COMMONS CHELSEA, MA

SMG was hired as the General Contractor to complete a major site improvements contract to a prior multi use site with extremely poor soil conditions. SMG collaborated on a design/build effort and hired a Geopier Drilling Subcontractor to reinforce the earth under the 4 proposed building pads so that conventional foundation systems could be constructed. The site infrastructure system was specially designed and installed with special precautions with regard to soil management and offsite disposal of unsuitable materials. The finished project will be a tremendous improvement to the area and an asset to the community.

GRANITE CROSSING QUINCY, MA

The project involved the evaluation of a 28 acreretired rock quarry for the development of a 240,000 sf major retail shopping center to include a Walmart and a Roche Bros. Supermarket. Significant rock cuts, deep densification of soils and earth management were the driving forces behind building orientation. SMG was retained to complete cost analysis and formulate value engineering recommendations, prepare bid packages, review bids and conduct buyout of the General Contractor. SMG was assigned the responsibility of Construction Management for the project representing the owner's interest.

CVS VARIOUS LOCATIONS

SMG provided construction management for the developer of several new CVS stores in South Yarmouth, MA, Waltham, MA, Sharon, MA, Quincy, MA, Brockton, MA, Enfield, CT and Auburn, ME.

TARGET TOPSHAM, ME

SMG was enlisted as the construction manager for a 204,000 sf. retail development located at Topsham Fair Mall Road which included Target as the major anchor with the balance of the center comprised of retail and restaurant tenants. The site had a factor of difficulty in that a large amount of materials had to be moved and part of the site was underlain with a blue clay layer which created a water and compaction problem. SMG worked closely with the design engineer to multigate this issue.
