Hammonasset State Beach Park, Connecticut’s largest shoreline park occupying a two-mile stretch of beach front on Long Island Sound, recently underwent a major refurbishment.  The project consisted of the replacement/upgrade of all utilities within the 1,000-acre park including water, electrical, and gas services. It also included the construction of new parking areas and a new 2.5-mile-long beach utility recreation trail (BURT) that is both the main utility pathway, as well as a multi-use recreational trail. STV led the construction administration for the State of Connecticut’s Division of Construction Services.  

Due to the high population of visitors during the peak season from May to September the project was completed in two phases to allow the park to remain fully operational during those times.
