CEI Boston LLC Completes Office Trailer Contract at MIT Laboratories at Hanscom Air Force Base in Lexington, MA for RC Griffin Inc.


The First Pick


The Last Pick (and a Sigh of Relief)
CEI was contracted to remove seven office trailers (Each trailer was sixty feet long and twelve feet wide, weighing in at thirty two thousand pounds each) from the roof top of a four story building on HAFB. Working on a strict time schedule and under the watchful eyes of MIT engineers; Chris Weber, John Lopes and Carl Lawrence from CEI, Rich Gladstone from MIT, RC Griffin and the crew with Coastal Crane worked on a Sunday to get all seven units off of the roof and onto the ground without incident. Another example of CEI Boston going to new heights for its valued clients.

CEI crews completed interior demolition and penetrations for lifting slings as well as making all the seperation’s (the trailers were hooked together as one unit.) This was done in order to prepare the trailers for removal with the use of a 240 Ton Crane. Once on the ground a second crew remobilized to demo and load out the structures. This is another example of CEI Boston going to new heights for its valued clients.

Outdoor Spaces


Fall is finally here and wouldn’t it be great to enjoy an outside patio and fire-pit with family and friends? Well, that’s just what Marvin Mendoza and Daniel Coloma completed for one of our clients. Believe it or not, this back yard began as an eight hundred square foot (leaking) concrete pool that was first demolished by Bill Haugh, one of our talented equipment operators. Then, the client and one of our designers worked together to create an outdoor space suitable for both entertainment as well as intimate nights by the fire. The project was a success and the client can’t live without their new space. Great job by all! If you are looking to create a livable outdoor space of your own, give us a call anytime.

CEI Boston Completes ‘Stables’ in Belmont for Hodess Construction

The Belmont Stables were erected in 1916 to house race horses. When all four buildings on Mill Street were established they could hold up to four hundred horses. But, times change and buildings are modified. CEI Boston LLC comes to completion of demolition and concrete work at 115 Mill Street in Belmont, MA. The remodel , when complete, will transform these horse stables into Condominiums.

Steve Tobin and crew have been on site from the beginning. From demo to site work; including concrete grade beams and right down to a hundred and twenty yard concrete placement for the new floors. Quality workmanship and schedule adherance have allowed for successful completion and CEI would like to thank Steve and all of his crew for a job well done!

The First Pick


The Last Pick (and a Sigh of Relief)
The 8 Walnut Street job began this August and is scheduled to complete October 07. This CEI project kicked-off with scheduling and coordination of a complete street shutdown and hoisting (2) twelve hundred pound compact excavators over occupied buildings into the confines of a limited access residential courtyard, two blocks from the Beacon Hill Statehouse. CEI Boston contracted the demolition, excavation, formwork, conveyor work and spoil export required to remove and replace a failing twenty foot retaining wall.

Dana Desmaires and Geraldo Inacio were responsible for demolition of the failing retaining wall and mass excavation of fifteen hundred cubic yards glacial till in very steep and tight quarters. In the second and fourth of the (4) phase schedule, Wesley Silva and Michael Bilbo were responsible for formwork, setting steel, pumping and placing the massive twenty foot tall, two foot thick reinforced concrete battered retaining wall replacement.

CEI would also like to extend thanks to Richard Johnson at AH Harris, for his formwork engineering support and thanks as well to AmQuip / Shaughnessy Crane Services for another clean pick.
