NCSU Greek Village, Raleigh, NC

NCSU Greek Village, Raleigh, NC

NCSU Greek Village is a reconstruction of an existing 12 acre parcel of property owned by North Carolina State University (NCSU). The Greek Village name is due to the fact that the land and houses are NCSU owned fraternities and sororities, unlike most campuses where the houses are privately owned. In this phase, the initial phase of the project, we will be demolishing two existing fraternity houses and all related infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) and reconstructing the area to create new traffic flows with updated infrastructure and more parking. In addition we will prep four pads for new houses to built on them. The new layout will include over a mile of new utility lines and over a half mile of new roads, with an additional half mile prepped for the future. We are excited to be the first contractor on this project.

We have been chosen by BE&K Building Group, LLC to install new chilled water lines to the new Dental Sciences Building at the University of North Carolina. This will be an interesting project because multiple trades will be providing over $ 4 million of infrastructure improvements on less than an acre at depths up to 25 feet deep.  As part of this project we will cross the busiest street on campus at depths up to 16 feet deep, beneath existing steam tunnels, water and gas lines, telephone and electrical duct banks, ect. while maintaining vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

 

 

Bonnie View, Baltimore City and County, MD

Just around the block from Beazer Homes’ very successful Quarry Lake project is the Bonnie View subdivision.  Instead of an old quarry, Bonnie View is built on an old golf course.  The fifty-one lots straddle the Baltimore City/County line and will likely be a strong seller in the popular Pikesville area.  Like Quarry Lake, Bonnie View also contains a lot of rock for the site contractor to deal with.  Gaines has spent over 50 years doing “rock” jobs.  T.J. Angelozzi is the blasting subcontractor on the job.   Together, Gaines and Angelozzi make a strong rock–ripping team!

Waterbury Forest, Anne Arundel County, MD

This project of 32 estate homes will be built in the Jessup area of Anne Arundel County by Ryan Homes.  Long time customer Koch Development is the project owner and developer.  The project features a 400 LF boring under Route 295.  Also complicating matters is a 54” culvert crossing Race Road.  The site is also challenging with much of the sewer being deeper than 25 feet.  The location of this project near Arundel Mills and Forte Meade should help make this a successful project.

Towson Center Mall Expansion, Baltimore County, MD

Gaines served as a subcontractor to Potts and Callahan on Whiting Turner’s major mall expansion.  It will include a Cheesecake Factory, PF Chang’s, Crate and Barrel, the Pottery Barn as well as 26 other major retailers.  Intricate planning involved value engineering and included some night work to avoid traffic and construction congestion.  Much coordination among the trades was required to build this addition without inconveniencing the mall patrons or the general public.  Existing lines had to be kept in serviced while the new lines were being added; this required an experienced contractor with an experienced crew; such as Gaines & Co.
