Alvin J. Coleman & Son, Inc. has been involved in heavy earth construction on every scale imaginable.  Jobs have ranged from residential water systems to large commercial box store site development as well as NH D.O.T. projects that have included bridge repair and replacement and highway upgrades.

Recent projects include:

Augusta Crossing Retail Shopping Center in Augusta, ME.  This 40 acre project included a 40’ retaining wall and the moving of hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of ledge and gravel.  This project was owned by Packard Development out of Newton, MA.

Sagamore Ridge Retail Re-development in Nashua, NH.  This 15 acre project included removing existing buildings and the installation of  a 60’ retaining wall.  This project was also owned by Packard Development of Newton, MA.

The Mount Carberry Landfill Closure in Berlin, NH.  This project has been on going for several years, occasionally with multiple phases being worked on concurrently.  We have successfully bid and completed work on various stages of the closure including closing several cells and a gas extraction phase.  This project is owned by the Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District in Berlin, NH.

Route 112, Kancamaugus Highway Improvements between Lincoln and Conway, NH.  This was actually three projects that all together encompassed approximately eight miles of scenic highway through one of New Hampshire’s most beautiful notches.  Extreme caution was taken to respect the environment in this White Mountain National Forest area.  The existing road was widened to increase visibility of other vehicles as well as to give drivers more opportunities to react to wildlife in the roads thus helping to reduce collisions.  This project was owned by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.

North-South Road, North Conway, NH.  This project was completed in an efficient and professional manner.  The entire community of Conway and North Conway, NH as well as surrounding towns were thrilled with the outcome as the opening of this road eased a significant amount of traffic pressure from the main artery of the Town of Conway.  This project was owned by the State of New Hampshire D.O.T. and was one of the preliminary steps that needed to be satisfied while the State considers a bypass around the entire Conway area.

Surry and Hinsdale, NH.  In the spring of 2005, New Hampshire was devastated by heavy melt water and unusually strong spring rains.  Southern parts of the state were particularly hard hit.  We were on a short list of contractors to be mobilized in case of such an emergency.  AJC was called in to help make emergency repairs in the affected communities.
