The New York City Housing Authority awarded Navillus with the contract to design and install a pneumatic waste system to remove the trash from the four residential buildings to a new Central Terminal Building (CTB) to be built on-site. We will be connecting the existing vertical trash chutes within each building to a 22” diameter pipe which will transport the waste across the site to the CTB. At the terminal, the waste will be mechanically compacted into DSNY containers and transported off-site. There will be the ability to segregate recycling waste separately in custom-built waste rooms within each building and transport this material at different times of the day. The new building will be a cast-in-place concrete building and will include a green roof.
With the new green roof being incorporated into the building design and knowing whom to consider for a Reliable roofer near me? it’s important to find them to ensure the installation is done correctly. Green roofs can offer numerous benefits, such as reducing stormwater runoff and improving air quality, but they require special care and maintenance. A professional roofer with experience in green roofs can ensure that the roof is properly installed with the necessary layers of protection, such as waterproofing and drainage, to prevent leaks and water damage. Regular maintenance, such as removing debris and ensuring the drainage system is functioning properly, will also be necessary to ensure the longevity of the roof.
Choosing the right roofing company is crucial to the success of any roofing project, whether it’s a green roof or a more traditional roofing system. A reliable roofer near me should have a proven track record of quality work and excellent customer service. They should also be licensed and insured, and provide a warranty for their work. By working with a reputable roofing company, building owners and managers can have peace of mind knowing that their roofing system is in good hands and will provide reliable protection for years to come.

Under grueling time constraints, Navillus championed the completion of a series of major upgrades to Madison Square Garden.
Home of the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers, the Garden plays host to more than 600 events a year, leaving very little time to plan and execute such a large-scale renovation. Nevertheless, Navillus promptly went to work on the Garden’s massive restoration–pouring reinforced concrete stairs and installing new granite treads and tile landings in three phases at the venue’s front entrance–and completed the project subject to extraordinary scheduling.
As a result of Navillus exceptional workmanship, Madison Square Garden has also retained Navillus services to periodically install personalized engraved tiles on behalf of the Garden of Dreams Foundation, which benefits children in need.

As the tallest single-use hotel structure in North America, 1717 Broadway takes its place alongside the many other prestigious projects in Navillus repertoire.
When completed, it will stand 70 stories tall. The structure required 12,000psi concrete in all walls and columns up to the 40th floor and 10,000psi concrete for the subsequent 10 floors. This use of this high-strength concrete at high elevations required the usage of complex chemical compounds, and therefore made the workability of the product all the more difficult. Despite these challenges, Navillus is able to pour the typical floors of this project with precision and efficiency in a 2 day cycle.
Being in the heart of midtown, on West 54th Street and Broadway and across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theatre, Navillus, as it always does, went the extra mile in ensuring a safe and healthy project for its workers and the public. As the first to use the Efco climbing safety system in New York City, Navillus installed this mesh cocoon system using aluminum steel members, allowing less inserts, which required less panels to climb, resulting in a quicker and more efficient jump time. The system is tied into the slab over 3 floors and provides 4 floors of protection.

Navillus skill and expertise in concrete superstructure are evident in its work on 400 5th Avenue – a premiere 65-story high-rise building in the center of midtown Manhattan, echoing in the shadow of the world-renowned Empire State Building.
This project has been commended not only by the Construction Manager, but also by such city agencies as the New York City Department of Buildings for its continuing vigilance of safety and quality all of which attributed to winning a CIB Award and being featured on the History Channel. Navillus is the first in the city to introduce the Doka Formwork system of safety, which protects three and a half floors of active work. Hydraulically lifted, this system raised itself with the height of the building. Even while using this complex system, Navillus was able to master a two-day concrete cycle throughout the structure’s typical floors. 400 5th Avenue is truly an achievement of safety, quality, and efficiency combined.

Construction on this 330,000 square foot, 31-story residential tower on the Upper East Side of Manhattan required the full breadth of Navillus expertise in concrete design and installation.

Navillus began masonry work on The High School of Law Enforcement in March 2002, and completed work on this multimillion dollar project in February 2003. The largest NYCSCA project during the time. Its scale of masonry work is worthy of only the most experienced subcontractors. Navillus has been able to rely on past experience with similarly sized projects in preparation during the pre-construction phase. By using modern technology and proven managerial methods, Navillus successfully completed this project and exceeded schedule.
We used approximately one million pieces of brick, 350,000 finished blocks, 125,000 glazed tile blocks and 5,000 linear feet of cast stone. Seven different colors of brick have been incorporated into the façade and the use of a glazed brick means Navillus, as always, upholds a high standard for quality workmanship.

Size: 19 stories
An architectural triumph, The Caroline is a 19-story residential and commercial tower blends effortlessly into this landmark district.
Designed by Architect Costas Kondylis in conjunction with Landmark Architects, Richard Cook & Associates, The Caroline construction required very specific construction conditions for its landmark status. The use of a brick with inherent imperfections coupled with a distinct jointing allowed this building to blend in with its surrounding older structures. Over 9,000 pieces of cast stone were fabricated and installed by Navillus, requiring extensive shop drawings and planning during pre- construction. Navillus even designed a pointing tool that would provide a 45-degree angled joint, creating the shadowing requirement as intended by the architect.
A striking feature of this building is the courtyard garden located in the center of the building which Navillus completed, including all concrete, masonry and granite work.
