Scope Of Work
C&L Contracting was engaged to renovate the eight-story, 350-cell Bronx House of Detention for Men. This project entailed construction of a three-story addition to the building’s main entrance to house administrative staff and a central security control room. The project’s scope also comprised a major expansion to the existing mechanical and electrical infrastructure, including new steam boilers and electrical services, as well as mechanical equipment, associated distribution systems and emergency generators. Additionally, the clinic was reconstructed and renovations were made to the facility’s cells, helping to improve quality of life for the inmates.
