New DPW Facility

The Town of Billerica selected Weston & Sampson to complete a feasibility study for a new consolidated Department of Public Works (DPW) facility.

Our work began with a comprehensive site selection analysis across multiple locations in the community, followed by a detailed space needs assessment. We developed and evaluated building and site alternatives, prepared conceptual cost estimates, and supported the town with public outreach efforts. As part of the planning process, we also assisted in releasing portions of the selected site from Article 97 Protection status.

The resulting project includes a new 67,000-square-foot DPW facility featuring administrative offices, vehicle maintenance bays, workshops, vehicle storage, and wash operations. Site improvements include demolition and remediation of a former wastewater treatment plant, wetland replication, and the construction of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls. Additional support features include a canopy structure and a high-arch gambrel-style salt shed.
