What's New at The Authority?


Landfill Administrative Building

Construction continues for the expansion of The Authority’s existing Administration Building at the Solid Waste Complex. The Landfill Administration Building construction is progressing. Exterior block and windows have been installed. Interior framing and roughing services are complete and sheetrock installation is scheduled to begin within the next few weeks. The project is on schedule, and the Landfill Administrative Building is set to open at the end of June. 


Landfill Gas Header Project Awarded

The Authority’s Landfill Gas Header Project has been awarded to Atlantic Lining Company (ALCO). The project includes continuing the landfill gas header around landfill Cells 7, 8, and 9 to complete the loop around the entire landfill. This project will help The Authority maximize landfill gas collection. ALCO is set to begin welding pipe this week, and the project is expected to be complete by late June. 


Bridgeton BOE: Broad Street School HVAC Project

The massive spring break demolition and restoration of the cafeteria and lower floor corridors work at Broad Street School was a huge success. The contractor worked a few double shifts to get all demolition completed, and all new ductwork, electrical, fire alarm, ceilings, and lights installed in the cafeteria over spring break. There were more than 35 workers onsite each day to get all of this work done in such a short amount of time. The project continues to progress, as the contractors switch to working nights until summer. The students and staff were pleased to see the new cafeteria upon their return from spring break.


Bridgeton Fire Station

Work continues at the Bridgeton Fire Station. The elevator pit has been excavated, and the concrete slab will soon be poured. The interior partition wall framing continues, and ductwork, plumbing, and electrical work is being completed. The underground water filtration and storage system is moving forward, with the excavation close to the depth required. The project is on schedule and is expected to be complete in Spring 2026. 


NJ State Police Barracks

The Port Norris, Commercial Township State Police barracks construction is firing on all cylinders. With great weather and all materials onsite, all contractors are working hard to get water tight by May 2. The exterior waterproofing and roof membrane are both expected to be complete by the end of April. The roof top units will be set the week of April 28. The mason is following right behind the waterproofing, installing the split face block, brick veneer, and cast stone. Masonry should be complete by mid-May. The plumber, electrician, and tin knockers are working hard to install mains, feeder cables, generator, and electrical gear. Inspections are occurring weekly, and the project is moving along very well. Interior wall framing is to begin the last week of April and be completed by mid-May.
