Menu SITEWORK & FOUNDATIONS Commercial developments and public infrastructure projects often include excavation – a strength of Yonkers Contracting Company – for building foundations, roadways or highways and bridges. Founded in 1946 as an excavation and earth-moving contractor, Yonkers has provided site work and foundation construction for a wide range of public and private projects. Excavation, rock blasting, utility infrastructure, concrete foundations, retaining walls, groundwater management are among the many elements performed by Yonkers. These founding core competencies facilitated Yonkers’ growth and diversification and continue to be significant elements within many of Yonkers’ construction projects – whether a new substation, water/wastewater treatment facility, highway or bridge, or commercial development. Private developers benefit from Yonkers’ comprehensive understanding of construction and proactive time sensitive approach for retail centers and mixed use developments of various sizes. Completing site excavation and constructing foundations is critical to the site’s development schedule and often encounters unforeseen site constraints. Yonkers’ ability to develop solutions, find ways to minimize costs such as crushing rock for re-use on site, and solve challenges with varying soil conditions is key to Yonkers’ success. RECENT PROJECT EXPERIENCE Major commercial developments, such as the 80-acre Ridge Hill Village, and a wide range of retail/commercial buildings, hotels and casinos are among Yonkers’ portfolio of projects. These include the Borgata and Revel casinos in Atlantic City, the Riverplace II development in Manhattan, Stop & Shop Supermarket in Yonkers and Premier Plaza in Tarrytown. Public sector site work has included re-building portions of the World Trade Center, including Towers 3&4 and the Vehicle Security Center, and public infrastructure projects such as the Rondout Shafts and the 34th Street Station & Ventilation structure for the 7 Subway extension.
