This project involved the construction of a new Boston Freightliner heavy duty equipment sales and service building located just north of Boston in Everett, MA. The new Boston Freightliner building replaced its former location on Lower Broadway to make way for the Wynn Encore Boston Harbor Hotel. In addition to the new Boston Freightliner building, the Everett Riverwalk was added to the project as part of a future municipal park development. The Everett Riverwalk site originally was home to a GE Factory that manufactured airplane engines during the 1940’s. This project transformed the site into a new park with a bike path that follows the shores of the Malden River and connects to the Northern Strand Bikeway. Manafort Brothers, Inc. was selected to perform the civil and utility as well as substantial soil remediation work for this multi-faceted project.

For the new Boston Freightliner building, Manafort’s civil scope of work included site clearing, structural excavation for building foundations, rough grading, excavation for underslab utilities, roadway grading, parking lot grading, soil management. Site finishes included curbing, asphalt paving, pavement markings, bollards, and signage. Manafort’s utility scope of work included domestic water and fire services, water main replacement, sanitary sewer connection, storm drainage improvements, stormwater detention basins, gas service connection, electrical and telecommunication services.

 

The Everett Riverwalk scope of work included capping of the contaminated soils from the old GE Factory, extension of the existing water main, grading, asphalt paving, site appurtenances and earthwork for a new shade structure.

 

Manafort worked closely with the developer team and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to complete the project safely, successfully, on-time, and on-budget.
