- Owner: Atlantic City Electric
- Completed: March 2024
- Services: Site/Civil Engineering
MFS Engineers & Surveyors provided professional site/civil engineering services for the upgrades and expansion of the existing Atlantic City Electric (ACE) Substation in Newport, New Jersey. The project consisted of a three-phase construction approach, which included increasing the footprint of the substation yard, adding access roads that circle the new yard limits, adding control buildings, and providing additional utility infrastructure.
MFS supported the project as it went through the design, approval, and construction of Phase One process with the City of Newport, New Jersey in Cumberland County.
MFS’s site/civil team prepared erosion and sediment (E&S) control plan and details utilizing accepted soil erosion measures and following the local soil conservation district notes and details. MFS submitted the E&S control plan to the local soil conservation district for review and approval. MFS completed the site plan showing all proposed improvements and upgrades for the project and drawings for the demolition plan and grade and stormwater management plan.
Additionally, MFS assisted with the land use permitting approvals with Land Use Department and local planning board, soil conservation district, Cumberland County, Downe Township, and the local fire marshal. MFS utilized the local Land Use ordinance to verify that proposed improvements adhere to the agencies’ guidelines. Permit coordination during the submittal, review, and resubmission process was provided.
