2024 CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE AWARDS
SMART GROWTH
EASTERN STATES CONSTRUCTION SERVICE, INC.
The Grove Sitework
The recently completed Grove shopping center completed by Eastern States Construction Service, Inc. stands out for its exemplary stormwater management strategy, incorporating an innovative underground detention system. The creatively constructed underground system effectively captures and stores rainwater beneath the shopping center parking lot, reducing surface runoff and allowing more feature spaces for the team’s mixed-use shopping center vision. By integrating stormwater detention into the design, the project minimized the need for above- ground basins, maximizing the usable space for
retail and parking. The system also promoted water filtration and groundwater recharge, contributing to environmental sustainability. Its low-maintenance design ensures long-term efficiency and cost- effectiveness. The project not only met stormwater regulations but sets a high standard as a creative solution for future sustainable construction projects.
