Scope Of Work

The Nanuet Mall, which opened in 1969, is situated on 63 acres and was comprised of 120 stores totaling 560,000 square feet of retail space. The owner, Simon Property Group, converted this property into an “open air lifestyle center” called The Shops at Nanuet. To construct “The Shops”, the existing main portion of the mall as well as the parking deck were demolished. They were replaced by new retail shops, a fitness center, 12 screen movie theater, grocery store, two detached retail structures and a stand-alone restaurant. Montesano reconstructed all of the access drives, mall roadways and on-grade parking lots; erected a bus shelter; excavated for and installed all new utilities to the building pads and constructed three modular block walls. The largest wall, 12 feet high by 520 feet long required the implementation of a coffer dam system due to the wall’s footing and first few courses being below standing water. In order to control storm water run-off Montesano installed a pre-cast concrete modular system (storm trap) which stores flood water underground. This system has a storage capacity of 1.2 million gallons. To reduce the project’s environmental impact and in keeping with our environmental goals, demolition debris and milled asphalt were crushed and screened on site and reused as compacted fill and pavement sub-base respectively.
