Eastern Coast Construction is proud to announce our latest project with Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic: a $22.7 million Design-Build demolition and site restoration of Building 195 at America’s oldest shipyard, Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY).
Awarded through our joint venture with Saw Construction, this project will remove a historic industrial facility originally constructed in 1920, with additions in 1975, 1985, and 1987. Building 195 was a 26,400-square-foot high-bay facility that once served as the shipyard’s main plating shop and supported operations such as glass grinding, buffing, galvanizing, and coal storage before being abandoned in the late 1990s.
The SEJV team will demolish all structures above and below grade, including slabs, grade beams, pile caps, piles, mezzanines, pits, asphalt and concrete surfaces, pollution control systems, and associated above- and underground storage tanks. Throughout the demolition process, existing underground steam lines will remain active and protected.
Once complete, the site will be restored and paved with asphalt, preparing it for future use by Norfolk Naval Shipyard in continued support of the warfighter.
