In order to facilitate the facility wide modernization and expansion of the international crossing from Champlain, New York into Canada, The Pike Company provided construction management services for phases two and three of the project. This $80 million project improved the existing United States Border Station with an emphasis on site development, road construction, and infrastructure in accordance with the General Services Administration quality standards and requirements. It also met the specific tenant/agency security requirements, including the Department of Homeland Security, Food and Drug Administration, United States Fish and Wildlife Agency and APHIS Veterinary Services. The original station, the second busiest in New York State and the sixth busiest commercial crossing from the United States into Canada, had not seen a major renovation or modernization in over 35 years. With over 1,000 commercial vehicles passing through the United States inspection point daily, this project was a top priority among state and federal representatives. The project included the construction of a new cargo building, a new main administration building, a new export control building, a new vet services building, new inspection booths and related sitework to facilitate vehicle processing through the facility. The Land Port of Entry was the first federal paperless project. This project was registered with the United States Green Building Council and constructed as a LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver project.
