The Project:

Engineering for the demolition and reconstruction of the famous Falmouth-based "Casino by the Sea" nightclub to be transformed into the Casino Condominium Restaurant.

Scope of Work:

Demolition
Work begins on the demolition phase of the Casino Wharf project. The old building was demolished and removed from the site to make way for the new Casino Condominium Restaurant development.

Sheeting Installation
A crane is mobilized to the site to begin the installation of the steel sheeting along the edge of Grand Avenue. The sheeting is installed to retain Grand Avenue and allow for the removal of the old unsafe concrete retaining walls that were part of the original building construction.

Dewatering
In order to excavate and install the septic tanks and pump chambers on the site, it is necessary to dewater. Dewatering is a process that lowers the water table to allow for efficient installation of the septic tanks and pump chamber. A series of wells are installed along the perimeter of the property, and the ground water is pumped on a 24-hour basis to lower the groundwater table. The pumped water is discharged into a settling basin to settle out any soil materials prior to discharge.

Tank Installation
Work commences on the installation of the septic tanks and pump chambers that will serve the new facility. The shoring system is installed to insure a safe excavated work environment for workers to enter the excavation and properly install the septic tanks and pump chamber.

Bio-clere Installation
Bio-clere denitrifying units are delivered and installed at the site. The Bio-clere units are an innovative alternative septic system component that provides enhanced treatment to the septic system effluent prior to pumping to the leaching field. The Bio-clere units will denitrify the septic system effluent generated from the site to ensure that the project protects the groundwater and the environment from nitrogen loading.

Leaching Field Installation
The leaching field–which is the final discharge point for the septic system–is located on a remote lot, which will also be used for parking. The leaching field will accept the treated effluent from the building facility’s site and pump it from the site approximately 500 feet to a satellite parking lot to provide a significant setback from the waters of Vineyard Sound. In this way, the developer has taken extraordinary steps to ensure that the effluent generated from the development will not pose any environmental impact.
