UD South Green

The South Green Utility Upgrades Project was not only the largest utility project ever commissioned on the University of Delaware’s campus, but also the largest utility project the Whiting-Turner Contracting Company’s Delaware Office has ever completed. Given the immense scale and scope, having trusted partners were key to the project’s success. One of these partners was Corrado Construction Company. Throughout the project, Corrado Construction Company overcame several challenges, the greatest of which was completing a project in the heart of campus filled with 17,000 students each day – changing classes, conducting campus tours, completing maintenance, etc. Corrado Construction Company used their experience working on University of Delaware projects and a continuous coordination effort with Whiting-Turner to navigate through the ever-changing conditions. They opened large utility trenches for almost ¾ of a mile of Steam & Condensate piping as well as approximately 1 mile of Chilled Water piping, as well as tunneling under two occupied buildings, all while maintaining the use of each university building adjacent to the work. In addition, Corrado Construction Company employees were incredibly professional and easy to work with, always striving to move the project forward with the clients’ best interest in mind. As always, it was a pleasure working with Corrado Construction Company and we look forward to partnering with them again in the future.
