Navillus designed and installed a pneumatic waste collection system serving four residential buildings at Polo Grounds Towers, conveying municipal waste to a new on-site Central Terminal Building (CTB). The system connected existing vertical trash chutes to a 22-inch-diameter underground pipe network that transported waste to the CTB, where it was mechanically compacted into DSNY containers for off-site removal. Navillus also delivered dedicated waste rooms to enable recycling segregation and scheduled transport. The CTB was constructed as a cast-in-place concrete structure and includes a green roof.
