Lower Moreland Township - ___________ New Public Works Facility

Lower Moreland, PA

Construction was recently completed on a new Public Works Facility for the Township of Lower Moreland.  This site had received only minor improvements over the last 40 years and the Township committed the resources necessary for a comprehensive project to modernize the entire site.  The new building houses private offices, open work stations, a break room, changing facilities, and high work bays that boast new automobile lifts, a gantry crane, machine shop, welding stations and an abundance of storage space.  The perimeter of the site was secured.  Additional parking was introduced to separate employee vehicles from Township equipment.  Improvements were made to an existing metal building for additional storage space and a new high bay salt storage building was constructed.

With the incorporation of a pre-engineered building and careful selection of materials and systems, bids were received 5% under budget with most alternates selected.  Construction began in February 2007 and was substantially completed in November 2007.
