Manchester replaced Bowers Elementary with a new school, and Gerber delivered the site package underneath it: mass excavation and grading for the building and its grounds, then the storm, sanitary and water utilities that serve them.

Stormwater on a school campus has nowhere to go but down, so the site carries a subsurface storage system beneath it. Our crews installed it along with the drainage that feeds it, and our site package carried the curbing, sidewalks and paving that finished the site.
