Suffolk County House of Correction

SGH investigated leakage through roofing, rooftop equipment, precast cladding, sloped glazing, curtain walls, and plazas. We completed a visual survey of the building enclosure, performed water testing to identify leakage paths, and made observations at exploratory openings to document concealed conditions. We also collaborated with a subconsultant to review the existing rooftop mechanical equipment and determined the system had reached the end of its serviceable life.

As prime consultant for the repair work, SGH led a team of consultants. We designed repairs and prepared construction documents for the following:

• Replacing low-slope roofing on six of the eight buildings
• Replacing deteriorated insulating glass units on multiple buildings
• Resealing precast wall panels
• Upgrading certain areas to meet ADA accessibility requirements
• Replacing the rooftop mechanical equipment, including ductwork, and installing a new heating/air conditioning system
• Renovating interiors to install a vocational training kitchen

We also provided construction administration services, including reviewing contractor submittals and observing ongoing work to compare with the project  requirements.
