Skanska has, as part of a joint venture with Trevcon II, signed a contract with AECOM to perform drilled shaft and bulkhead work for Electric Boat’s new South Yard Assembly Building in Groton, Connecticut, USA.

The joint venture will also be responsible for the furnishing, as well as marine work including demolition, dredging, and blasting.
Construction is ongoing and will continue through summer 2020.
