Project Background

Costich Engineering is proud to continue its decades-long partnership with Wegmans, delivering innovative civil engineering solutions for the expansion of its Pennsylvania distribution center. With more than 15 years of on-site experience, our team has helped ensure that every phase of this project is executed with precision and efficiency.

 

Comprehensive Civil Engineering Services for Multi-Facility Development

Our surveying and civil engineering experts are managing a major expansion that builds on our previous work at this site. Having already delivered 830,395 square feet of distribution space, we’re now adding an additional 917,724 square feet, bringing the total facility footprint to over 1.7 million square feet across this expansive 173.1-acre property. This strategic expansion project includes:

  • Site preparation and grading for enhanced operational efficiency
  • Advanced stormwater management systems to protect the environment
  • Utility coordination and infrastructure development supporting modern logistics
  • 17,600-square-foot trailer stripping facility for streamlined operations
  • 14,970-square-foot office building designed for growing administrative needs

Minimizing Disruption During Active Operations

Understanding that distribution centers never sleep, our Rochester-based engineering team carefully coordinates all construction activities around Wegmans’ daily logistics operations. This approach ensures minimal disruption to supply chain activities while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards.

 

Cross-State Engineering Expertise: New York to Pennsylvania

As a Rochester, NY civil engineering firm, we bring valuable experience navigating complex regulatory environments across state lines. Our team expertly manages compliance requirements between New York and Pennsylvania jurisdictions, streamlining approvals and ensuring project success.

 

Adaptive Engineering Solutions for Evoling Needs

Our sustained on-site presence allows us to respond quickly to changing operational requirements and emerging challenges. This collaborative approach has proven invaluable throughout the project timeline, enabling us to:

  • Address client concerns immediately as they arise
  • Adapt engineering solutions to meet evolving distribution needs
  • Support Wegmans’ long-term operational growth strategy
  • Maintain project momentum through proactive problem-solving

Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue this successful partnership, supporting Wegmans’ vision for enhanced distribution capabilities and operational excellence.
