Pennoni Associates has received an “Honorable Mention” award from the NJ Concrete and Asphalt Association for its involvement in the New Hope Woodland Terrace Revitalization project. The award will be granted during an annual awards dinner at The Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Brunswick, NJ.

During Pennoni’s work on the New Hope Woodland Terrace Revitalization project, the firm offered major subdivision application and construction phase services for the 80-unit residential development. Pennoni prepared submission plans for Green Acres application, Treatment Works Approval (TWA) and BSDW permit application packages for sanitary sewer and water main extensions associated with the major subdivision. In addition, Pennoni developed stormwater management system design to control stormwater runoff. All stormwater design was in accordance with State stormwater rules utilizing BMPs as required to obtain a Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) permit.

Over the course of the project, Pennoni employed a variety of innovative methods to improve cost efficiency. Many economic benefits were realized including, less shoring and dewatering expense, reduced labor expenditure, and a benefit to the project schedule.

Pennoni Associates' Site Design group is expert in expediting the permitting process and can accelerate your project quickly from planning to construction. Our staff has the requisite experience and qualifications to identify the minimum permit requirements for our client’s projects.  We are knowledgeable in local, state, and federal permitting programs involved with planning, zoning, subdivisions, environmental, demolition, land development, utility, driveway, stormwater management, wetlands, soil erosion control, performance bonds, and building permit applications. 

Funding shortfalls and increased need are forcing state, county and local governments to do more with less.  Pennoni Associates has been helping government clients to do just that for more than four decades. We help our clients to maximize available funding to get the most out of each project completed.  We fully understand that this requires not only excellent technical skills, but also a project management approach that will keep completion and delivery of projects on time and on budget.

With our multi-discipline capabilities, Pennoni can help you conceptualize, plan, design, and construct your infrastructure and facilities projects. We work from the ground up, conception to completion, on public sector projects that improve the safety, efficiency, and functionality.. Pennoni has completed engineering design, planning, landscape architecture, and construction services for clients as small as a community of a few thousand residents to projects that impact an entire state.

Pennoni professionals are knowledgeable in local, state and federal regulations and permitting programs involved with planning, zoning, subdivisions, environmental, demolition, land development, utilities, stormwater management, wetlands, soil erosion control, code reviews and building permit applications among others.  We understand the complexities of doing work for the government, and help our clients to navigate the complicated processes necessary to gain both the funding and approvals necessary to bring projects to fruition.

We also bring our clients perspectives into how to better maintain and preserve the environment through sustainable and green design.  This approach provides annual operational energy savings to our clients.

Pennoni’s strength in project management is an essential component of our success in government projects. Pennoni managers take a global systems approach to each assignment, looking at not only the project itself but how it impacts the environment around it. We understand the  difficult balance between what the community needs and controlling the costs and schedules necessary to do so.  Our passion for engineering, commitment to serving the communities where we live, work, and play, and dedication to preserving the environment comes through in each project completed.
