Catelli Brothers

Catelli Brothers was Milestone Construction Management’s first customer in 1999 and 25 years later we have kept an exceptional relationship with them and have worked on renovations to their existing plant and new addition. This first project consisted of a 32,000 Square Foot Renovation and addition to an existing Lamb and Veal Processing Plant Facility located in Collingswood, New Jersey.

The addition allowed for expansion to CBI’s cold storage areas and modification of the existing conveying systems into the new facility. All work was performed in a very confined surrounding area and the existing plant always stayed fully operational during construction. The addition entailed a 6’ elevation change from the existing to the new structure.

The new structure was a structural steel bearing with an exterior 8” split face masonry system. The interior walls and ceilings at the cold storage and freezer areas were constructed utilizing 4” to 6” insulated panels. Modified bituminous and metal panels were utilized for roofing with insulated glass, utilized at the future office expansion on the second floor. Interior finishes at the receiving area included stainless steel door wraps and bollards, ceramic tile floors, FRP and wood doors, toilet partitions, epoxy paints, etc.

The blast freezer/cooler areas and loading dock areas were constructed with high-speed roll-up doors. The mechanical, plumbing, sprinkler, and electrical scopes of work for the freezer expansion were performed utilizing a design/build concept between the Owner, Architect, and Milestone Construction Management.

We are currently working with Catelli Brothers sprinkler system, insulation, parking lot expansions, and carcass crane rail renovations. Our relationship with Catelli Brothers has fostered many important working relationships with architects, engineers, and design professionals that continue to grow and prosper.

The addition extended the existing warehouse to approximately 11,000 square feet. To ensure Pepsi remained fully operational during the construction process, Milestone Construction Management performed much of the work in a two-phase process. The existing precast panels will have newly added precast panels to extend the existing building. The main entrance was rebuilt with a new canopy. Milestone Construction Management continued its relationship with Pepsi and performed various renovations to its existing facility.

Northeast Incinerator

The Northeast Incinerator Building located at 3901 N. Delaware Ave. in Philadelphia, PA was an eight-phase project on which Milestone Construction Management publicly bid and was awarded seven phases. The project’s emphasis was to convert the old historic Incinerator building into usable office space, maintenance shop, and sanitation dispatch. It consisted of exterior improvements and renovations including a new roof, new windows, masonry infill, and stucco over the course of 10 years. Milestone Construction Management worked closely with the entire project team to meet the project’s environmental goals which achieved a LEED Silver Rating under the LEED NC v.2.2 Program. The building now reflects the values of a sustainable or Green Building. Milestone Construction Management created and coordinated the project schedule with its subcontractors and the owner to maintain an aggressive schedule throughout all phases, which included additions of elevators, stairs, structural steel, concrete, geothermal field, etc. This project’s last awarded scope of work consisted of furniture, audio-visual, conference rooms, demountable partitions, training areas, raised accessed flooring, soundproof walls, and other finishes.

Northeast Incinerator- Geothermal

One of the more notable phases was utilizing a geothermal grid on an adjacent site which later became a parking lot. It consisted of 60 geothermal loops drilled at a depth of approximately 560 feet. These geothermal loop heat exchangers consisted of high-density polyethylene fusion joined piping formed into vertical loops that heat or cool a building. In this installation method, these geothermal heat pumps circulate water through a loop of plastic pipe which we inserted into a vertical borehole for the fluid to discharge heat from the thermal energy in the Earth’s crust and into the building. This is the most efficient technology for heating and cooling buildings. This international ground source heat pump is approved by the National Ground Water Association.

The overhangs were renovated to provide more sunlight to the storefronts, dormers removed, roofs removed and three-dimensional shingles re-installed. The fascias were redone with stucco and stone veneer and accented with wood trims. The existing plaster soffits and lighting were removed and replaced with modern materials.
