That same mentality is carried through
to the companies’ internal operations.
Both Servidone and Cavaliere strive to
create “an atmosphere that is enjoyable,”
Servidone says.
“The upper-management has a strong
presence within our companies and their
input is invaluable. We treat everyone like
they are an integral part of the company.”

Interchange 17 Reconstruction
A. Servidone and B. Anthony are working
on a $67 million heavy highway project in
Newburgh, N.Y., called the Interchange 17
Reconstruction, Contract 3.
The project is for the New York State
Thruway Authority and encompasses
reconstruction of the Exit 17 Interchange
on the New York State Thruway in
Newburgh, as well as the construction of
six new bridges.
The project also entails:
■ Drainage;
■ Earthwork embankment construction;
■ MSES wall construction;
■ Concrete/asphalt pavement;
■ Wetland construction;
■ Drainage improvements;
■ Electrical and lighting improvements;
■ Guide rail installation;
■ Bored pile installation;
■ Sign installation; and
■ Miscellaneous site improvements.
Servidone says the most challenging
aspect of the job was completing the six
bridges and meeting the milestone dates in
the contract.
“We had multiple crews working on
these six bridges simultaneously to com-
plete them in a timely fashion to meet the
A SERVIDONE INC./B. ANTHONY CONSTRUCTION GROUP
contract requirements,” he says. The proj-
ect began in March 2007 and will con-
clude in the summer of 2009.
A. Servidone and B. Anthony also partic-
ipated in Contract 2 of the Interchange 17
Reconstruction project. The two were
responsible for performing the site work
for the new interchange facilities as sub-
contractor to Rochester, N.Y.-based The
Pike Co.
The project scope included site clear-
ing and excavation of soil on approxi-
mately 105 acres of land, including two
large detention ponds.
Middlesex Landfill Expansion
In March 2007, A. Servidone and B.
Anthony embarked on the Middlesex
County Landfill Phase 2 Expansion project
in New Jersey.
The companies will construct three
new cells – known as Cell 7, Cell 8 and
Cell 9 – on top of the pre-existing cells.
“Our work includes, but is not limited to,
sub-grade preparation for 95 acres of land
disturbance of which approximately 76
acres will be under liner,” Servidone
reports.
A liner is a composite of plastic materi-
als used to prevent leachate, produced by
the garbage, from infiltrating the ground.
The liner system A. Servidone and B.
Anthony are using consists of HDPE liner,
GCL and geocomposite drain.
“The total liner system includes 6.6
million square feet of 60 and 80 milliliter
liner,” Servidone says.
“It also includes leachate correction
and leak detection piping.”
The sub-grade preparation includes
placement and compaction of approxi-
mately 1 million cubic yards of import fill
to bring the new cells up to sub-grade,
including separation berms and parameter
berms, he notes.
“Work also includes tying in to existing
landfill cells and installing approximately
13,000 lineal feet of trash netting and incli-
nometers and approximately 8,600 lineal
feet of gravel parameter roadways,”
Servidone adds.
A. Servidone and B. Anthony have
partnered with Barbella Construction
Services, an environmental remediation
company, on the $75 million project.
Servidone says it should be completed by
December 2009. ■
