August 2010


August 30, 2010 a quiet site being prepared for a major transformation. This 64 acre piece of coastal land is criss-crossed with hiking and ATV trails. Bigelow will transform 14 acres of this forested land into a modern state of the art oceanographic research facility.


Consigli won the Construction Management bid for this project. Consigli hired Mark Hawkes & Sons Foresters to harvest the wood and clear the land for development. The first equipment to arrive at the site is the harvestor.


After intensive detailed surveying a path is flagged and outlined to guide the harvester along its way. The above image is the first of many trees to be cut down.

What was once just an ATV trail now is the start of something much bigger.
