High-Profile Feature: River’s Edge Continued from previous Page Merrimack River in Manchester became available, Elliot found the property “perfect,” for its needs, according to Dean. Miller Engineering & Testing, Inc. performed an extensive series of test borings and other engineering and design services both prior and subsequent to site plan approval for the project. Now that demolition of the former Jac Pac Facility is nearing completion, and Thibeault Corp. is gearing up to start the earthwork to reshape the landscape in accordance with the design plans, Miller’s role will shift to Geotechnical Field Engineering support, Environmental Monitoring of the Brownfields Site, and field and laboratory Construction Materials Testing of the soils, concrete, masonry, structural steel and asphalt. Elliot is planning to relocate and expand many services to the new site, including ambulatory surgery, endoscopy, diagnostic imaging, women’s health, cardiac and pulmonary rehab and testing as well as develop a new urgent care planned to handle upwards of 44,000 visits per year.
