Triumph Construction Corp. has been awarded a $132 million contract for the construction of large interior drainage ponds and stormwater infrastructure for the South Shore of Staten Island (SSSI) Project, specifically within South Beach, Staten Island.
The scope of work includes the construction of detention basins, an open channel culvert, various stormwater drainage structures such as box culverts, junction chambers, sluice gates, weir chambers, flap gates, and inlets for future stormwater connections and relocation of existing sanitary sewers.
It’s the first of several construction contracts awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, the New York City Dept. of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) and State of New York (NYSDEC) to construct the overall South Shore of Staten Island Project, including additional interior drainage areas and seawalls. Design work for each of the remaining construction contracts is currently underway.
The overall project has a currently estimated total cost of $2.3 billion.
“This contract represents a significant step forward in protecting the south shore of Staten Island from future storm damages,” said New York District Commander Col. Alexander Young. “We’re committed to working closely with our partners at the state and city levels to ensure the successful completion of this critical infrastructure project.”
