Planning a warehouse site? Let’s talk about your project.
Project Overview
Warehouse site development in Howell Township, NJ prepared a 37.35-acre property for a new 368,000 SF warehouse. Pillari built the stormwater, fire protection and sewer infrastructure that a building of this size depends on.
A Permanent Wet Pond
The largest feature on the site is a 2.6-acre permanent wet pond. Unlike a dry basin, a wet pond holds water year-round. Stormwater flows in and slows down, giving sediment time to settle before the water moves on.
This pond was built with its bottom below the existing water table. Excavating below groundwater takes experience and careful planning. Pillari’s team handled it without issue.
Recharge Basins and Underground Storage
Pillari also built stormwater recharge basins. These basins let runoff soak back into the ground, helping to replenish groundwater instead of sending it off site.
For fire protection, crews installed an underground water storage system. It holds a dedicated supply of water for the warehouse’s fire suppression system, ready when it’s needed.
A Pump Station for a Growing Area
Another part of the project was a 25-foot-deep sanitary sewer pump station. It serves this developing area of Howell Township, giving the warehouse and future neighbors reliable sewer service.
The Result
The finished site gives a 368,000 SF warehouse everything it needs below ground: stormwater control, a dedicated fire protection water supply and sewer service. It’s a strong example of how complete site development supports both a new building and the community growing around it.
