Construction Manager Ignores Solid Waste Regulations Relating to Excavated Material
When a construction manager proceeded with an excavation to build a major structure on a New York City university campus, the construction manager disposed of the excavated materials at a site which was not able to accept the type of material which was shipped. As a result of this significant mistake and other failures by the construction manager to understand regulatory requirements, the university faced cost overruns in excess of $5 million. Osborn investigated the regulatory and operational short-comings of the construction manager and prosecuted claims for the excessive cost incurred.
