Recent notable firm projects include: MEP Engineering for Stony Brook Clinical at Smith Haven Mall

Stony Brook Clinical is a cutting-edge healthcare hub that offers a "one-stop shop" for patients seeking a multitude of medical specialties. The 170,000-sq-ft space, previously occupied by Sears, was poised to reshape the way healthcare services are accessed and experienced, creating a seamless blend of medical expertise and retail convenience. The Advanced Specialty Care Facility at Smith Haven Mall stands as a testament to the power of innovation, collaboration, and engineering excellence in service of the community.

Hutchinson Valley Trunk Sewer Realignment

The Hutchinson Valley sewer trunk was a sewer pipe with push on joints that was at risk of contaminating a downstream nature preserve. H2M provided assistance during bidding, pre-construction and site meetings, traffic control plans, construction-related services, and the safe abandonment of the old pipe and manholes. Construction involved trenching along the Parkway shoulder, across the exit ramp, and onto a road island. There were no subconsultants on this project but a contractor conducted construction inspections. The final cost was approximately 10% under budget and two months ahead of schedule. West Nyack Revitalization Park and Environmental Impact Study

West Nyack Revitalization Park and Environmental Impact Study is a renovation and improvement of the degraded parks wetlands, as well as the aging amenities of the park. H2M proposed the following design features: a constructed wetlands area; naturalistic channels with improved riparian buffer; off-street parking; a new playground; an updated passive park; and an environmental education trail. H2M assisted the Town in obtaining a Green Innovation Grant from the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation to offset costs from this project without using taxpayer dollars.
