Massapequa Park House was selected for the 2024 F.I.E.R.O. Station Design Merit Award.
City of New Rochelle Sanitary Sewer Capacity Expansion
ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Awards
H2M performed an evaluation and expansion of the City of New Rochelle’s sewer system as part of the municipality’s downtown revitalization plans. The City of New Rochelle anticipates that the influx of downtown development made possible by the sewer upgrades could generate over $76 million in property tax revenue and nearly $49 million in sales tax revenue annually. City of New Rochelle Sanitary Sewer Capacity Expansion was selected for the ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Diamond Award.
Station Yards Phase 2A
ASCE Long Island Branch
ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Awards
Station Yards is an ambitious multi-phased development project, encompassing a 53-acre site surrounding the Ronkonkoma LIRR Station. H2M architects + engineers provided civil engineering for phases 1 and 2, creating this new destination hub for Long Islanders set to redefine the fabric of the local community, merging residential, commercial, and recreational spaces into a cohesive ecosystem. Station Yards Phase 2A was selected for the 2024 ASCE Long Island Branch Transit Oriented Development Award and the ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Platinum Award.
Grant Cottage State Historic Site Fire Protection System
ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Awards
Grant Cottage is best known as the site where 18th President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant completed his legendary memoirs before he passed away in 1885. In order to protect the historic mountaintop cottage from fire without the water damage associated with traditional sprinklers, H2M oversaw the implementation of the first nitrogen-based hybrid fire protection system in a New York State landmark. Grant Cottage State Historic Site Fire Protection System was selected for the ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Platinum Award.
Hicksville Plant No. 8
ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Awards
As the Engineer of Record for the Hicksville Water District, H2M designed a water treatment plant to address the discovery of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and 1,4-dioxane in the drinking water supply. PFAS are a family of long-lasting manmade chemicals which may increase the risk of cancer as well as developmental and reproductive effects. Exposure to 1,4-dioxane can lead to severe kidney and liver effects and may also be a carcinogen. The new treatment infrastructure uses ultraviolet light and carbon to purify the water. Hicksville Plant No. 8 was selected for the ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Gold Award.
Passaic Valley Water Commission
ACEC New Jersey Engineering Excellence Awards
H2M analyzed the Commission’s water system, using characteristics such as age, materials, and the usage history of each section of pipeline to develop an Asset Risk Exposure Assessment (AREA) rating. The firm then used these AREA ratings to create a prioritized water main replacement program that outlines necessary pipe replacements and the anticipated associated costs over the next 150 years. Design Repair and Refinishing of DOI Facilities was selected for the ACEC New Jersey Engineering Excellence Distinguished Award.
Stony Brook Advanced Specialty Care
LIBN Real Estate, Architecture and Engineering Awards
H2M helped transform a 170,000-square-foot former retail space within the Smith Haven Mall into the innovative Stony Brook Medicine Advanced Specialty Care facility. This remarkable facility centralizes various medical specialties under one roof in a seamless blend of medical expertise and retail convenience. Beyond its structural form, the Advanced Specialty Care facility is shaping perceptions of healthcare and illustrating how engineering can elevate public services. Stony Brook Advanced Specialty Care was selected for the LIBN Real Estate, Architecture and Engineering Top Adaptive Reuse – Suffolk County Award.
The Tree of Giving: A Harvest of Generosity
Canstruction Long Island
H2M employees took weeks to prepare their almost 7,795 can sculpture for the Canstruction Long Island competition that would ultimately be used to combat Long Island’s hunger issues. With 12 hours to compete, their teamwork, creativity, and building skills were put to the test while constructing their Tree of Giving. We are proud to announce the H2M volunteer team brought home the 2024 the Best Original Design category and Most Cans.
