Summary

  • Haley & Aldrich helped a developer overcome a landfill site’s many regulatory, environmental, and geotechnical engineering issues, which had proved too daunting for other developers, and fulfill its potential as a commercial hub.
  • We came up with an unconventional approach to turn the landfill into a stable site that could maximize parking and make the project economically viable.
  • Our pioneering design saved millions in construction costs, restored wetlands, and generated close to $2 million annually for the town of Reading, Mass.
