Project Background

Sydor Optics is one of Rochester’s most recognized precision manufacturers, supplying flat optical components to aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and medical industries worldwide. When the company moved forward with plans for a new 100,000-square-foot production facility in Chili, New York, they needed a civil engineering partner who could manage the full scope of design, environmental review, and municipal approvals.

Costich Engineering delivered that scope from the ground up.

The new facility at 40 Jetview Drive sits across the street from Sydor’s existing campus at 31 Jetview Drive and will double the company’s current manufacturing footprint. The project is currently under construction, with earthwork underway and completion targeted for 2027.

What Costich Did

Site work for a project of this scale requires coordination across multiple agencies, tight sequencing of approvals, and design that accounts for real site constraints. The Costich team handled all of it.

On the civil side, the work included full site development plans covering grading and erosion control, utility layout, stormwater management, pavement design, and site profiles. A new dedicated access road, Sydor Way, was established off Jetview Drive as part of a subdivision of the remaining parcel into three lots. Stormwater infrastructure was designed on the east side of the site, consistent with the property’s natural drainage pattern, and supported by a SWPPP and Notice of Intent filed with the NYSDEC.

On the approvals side, Costich prepared and submitted the Full Environmental Assessment Form for SEQRA review, coordinated submissions to the Greater Chili Outside Sewer District, Monroe County Water Authority, and Monroe County Department of Health, and secured Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals approvals through the Town of Chili.

Landscape architecture services included schematic design options with supporting precedent materials, with outdoor gathering space incorporated near the building’s office and conference areas.

Construction administration is ongoing, including NYSDEC-required SWPPP inspections, watermain certification, and letter of credit draw requests.
