Hingham Shipyard
Client: Samuels, Roseland, Avalon, Sea Chain and MBTA
Location: Shipyard Road, Hingham
Schedule: May 2006-March 2008
Contract Value: $35 Million
J. Derenzo Company and BET are working on the redevelopment of the former Hingham Shipyard
off of Route 3A in Hingham, MA. It is being redeveloped by a consortium of five developers –
Samuels, Avalon, Roseland, Sea Chain and MBTA – into a mixed-use development. The complete
project will include 650,000 square feet of retail, 15 to 20 restaurants, 4,000 units of
housing and condominium housing, 1,500 units of rental housing, two public parks, as well as
the rehabilitation of MBTA commuter boat docks and parking facilities, a new marina and three
miles of new roadways, parking lots and new utilities.
J. Derenzo Company has a $35 million contract to complete the site work for infrastructure
for the five developers. The work includes more than 75,000 cubic yards of ledge blasting,
crushing and processing, crushing and processing of existing concrete foundations for reuse as
fill materials, installing three miles of water lines, two miles of sewer and four miles of
drainage, a complex system of stormwater control and treatment, more than three miles of new
roads, and parking lots, and building a new MBTA commuter parking lot for 1,800 vehicles. The
site work commenced in mid-2006, with final completion anticipated in early 2008.
BET conducted several environmental cleanup projects at the site, including a multimillion-dollar
PCB debris cleanup, several tank removals, several limited removal actions, and recently completed
the cleanup of a CVOC-contaminated area of the site. The PCB-area contained two distinct areas with
respect to cleanup requirements; areas where PCB levels were between 2 and 50 parts per million (ppm)
and areas where PCBs exceeded 50 ppm.
