At the IFF (formerly DuPont) facility in Greece, NY, Westside Construction Group performed precision excavation and installation of a new inline storm valve as part of an infrastructure upgrade. The work required deep excavation in a confined and utility-dense area, demanding tight coordination, specialized shoring, and careful water management. Our team maintained full site safety compliance while ensuring that ongoing plant operations were unaffected throughout the project.
Perform subsurface utility investigations and coordinate with IFF facility engineers to plan excavation around critical infrastructure.
Excavate to 12 feet with engineered trench boxes and shoring systems to maintain worker safety and trench stability.
Utilize pumps, drains, and erosion control to maintain a dry and stable excavation base.
Set and align the 24-inch storm valve to precise elevations, ensuring proper flow direction and long-term performance.
Tie into existing storm lines using approved couplings, backfill in compacted lifts, and restore surrounding grades.
Replace disturbed surfaces and restore the area to its preconstruction condition with proper grading and stabilization.
The IFF (formerly DuPont) Storm Valve Installation project reflects Westside Construction Group’s ability to execute complex, deep utility work safely and efficiently within operational industrial environments. Through disciplined planning, precise shoring, and seamless coordination, Westside delivered a durable stormwater control system that strengthens IFF’s infrastructure while upholding the highest safety and compliance standards.
Execute a 12-foot-deep, OSHA-compliant excavation to install a 24-inch inline storm valve in an active industrial setting—managing groundwater, protecting surrounding utilities, and maintaining continuous plant operations.
