Case study: Whitehall Township, Police & Administration Buildings

Whitehall Township hired D’Huy Engineering Inc. (DEI) to provide project planning, value engineering, project phasing, and construction management services during the design, bid, and construction phases for the new Whitehall Township Police Station addition to the current Township Administration building site. The project also includes the design of a new Community Transaction Area to support the existing Township Building’s interior renovations which will consolidate all Township functions in the current building footprint. The exterior facade renovations to the existing Township Building are planned to blend the existing facade with the new Police addition.
