Blackhorse Distribution Center
Paving the Way for Productivity with Significant Contributions to a Transformational Warehouse Development Project
Brubacher has been honored to be part of the transformational redevelopment effort of a site in a prime commercial location adjacent to the busy Pennsylvania Turnpike. The Blackhorse Distribution Center project in Denver, PA, commissioned by Wright Ebersole LLC, will bring an idle property back to a productive life as a plastic recycling warehouse. This type of project exemplifies our commitment to providing efficient and sustainable site excavation services for valued project partners. Beginning with the demolition of a deserted motel, restaurant, and auction building in 2022, our team has provided comprehensive land clearing and site preparation work that also included advanced project planning and risk mitigation at the outset to establish the building pad earlier than typical and set an efficient pace from there.
A standout feature of this warehouse development project is the significant retaining wall, reaching 40 feet at its highest point and spanning approximately 1,700 feet. This wall supports the site’s western section and ensures soil stability, though it required a bit of innovative problem-solving to bring it into existence. By collaborating closely with designers and engineers, we obtained a permit amendment to accommodate the wall’s construction, initially impeded by the proposed sediment basin. This coordination was critical to address site space constraints upfront and allow another prime contractor to start constructing the building.
Over the past two years, our excavation services have included everything from risk management, demolition, site clearing, and grubbing to utility installation and the construction of sidewalks, curbs, and paving. Our comprehensive approach to site development and providing the Insight. On Site. we are known for has ensured smooth coordination among all stakeholders, highlighting our capabilities as a leading excavating company and paving contractor in Central PA and beyond.
