Town of North Hempstead Bayview Ave Stabilization

Galvin Bros., Inc. (GBI) was contracted by the Town of North Hempstead to stabilize nearly 600 linear feet of severely eroding shoreline along Bayview Avenue in Manhasset. After mobilizing in Fall 2025 and clearing the site, GBI uncovered coastal erosion more extensive than initially anticipated.

To ensure long-term structural integrity, the project design engineer revised the plans to anchor the slope’s rip-rap protection with massive 5-ton toe stones. Following review and approval of the updated plans by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), GBI remobilized in early Fall 2026 to execute the marine and shoreline construction. Crews placed over 1,800 tons of bedding, core, protection, and 5-ton toe stone to build the engineered rip-rap revetment, then finished the roadway edge with new curbing.

Today, the completed project delivers resilient coastal protection built to withstand harsh tidal forces alongside a safe, stabilized Bayview Avenue for the surrounding community.
