DiPrete Engineering concludes work on 132,055 s/f multi-tenant warehouse

Wrentham, MA DiPrete Engineering, in partnership with Bluewater Property Group, completed a 132,055 s/f multi-tenant commercial warehouse located along Rte. 1. This facility not only showcases its size and New England-style architecture but also features an array of amenities, including 29 loading docks, 13 trailer storage spaces, and access to the state highway. DiPrete’s collaboration with Bluewater Property Group allowed for the consolidation of land from multiple property owners, ensuring space for this ambitious project.

The project encountered challenges as most of the site was formerly a gravel quarry that has since undergone extensive soil remediation and geotechnical evaluations. Moreover, they navigated an extensive entitlement process, securing permits through various local and state agencies, including MEPA, MassDOT, MADEP, as well as the Wrentham planning board, conservation commission, and board of health. In addition, DiPrete designed the stormwater management system and filed a Notice of Intent (NOI) in response to the presence of a nearby stream, pond, and water resource area, demonstrating their commitment to stringent environmental compliance.

DiPrete’s engagement with the town planner, planning board, and conservation commission enabled them to adeptly navigate the regulatory landscape, ultimately leading to the successful approval of this project. 

This achievement underscores DiPrete Engineering’s dedication to delivering exceptional results in collaboration with our clients across the New England region.

State legislature ends session without passing PLA bill - by Joe Camilo

Massachusetts taxpayers dodged a bullet when the state Senate didn’t take up legislation passed by the House in the waning moments of the legislative session that would have made it easier for municipalities and state agencies to use union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects.

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.
