National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction Week 2021
Amoroso Construction is proud to participate in OSHA's 2021 National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction Week, which took place May 3-7. In a year unlike any other, which brought a host of new safety requirements to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus on jobsites, it is important to remember the danger that our construction employees face every day from falls on the jobsite.
Project Update! Fire Station #6 and Fire Training Center, City of Hayward
Amoroso’s work on the City of Hayward’s new fire station and training center continues, under observance of Covid-19 safety protocols. After breaking ground in early October of 2020, foundation has been poured, structural steel has been erected, and construction is progressing.
The project includes nine new structures, including a firehouse/classroom building, apparatus building, hangar building, training tower, burn Building, storage building, underground Search and Rescue (USAR)/BART Structure, covered break area building, and entry structure, as well as significant site and landscape improvements.
Located on the grounds of the Hayward Executive Airport, the new center will serve the surrounding community in multiple ways, including improved fire response capabilities and top-of-the-line training for all incoming firefighters and emergency response medical personnel. Additionally, the project includes classrooms to be utilized by the local community college, Chabot College, for the expansion of their Fire Training Academy. The educational facilities will also serve local high school students interested in pursuing careers in firefighting and emergency response.
Amoroso is grateful for the collaborative efforts of the City of Hayward, the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (CLPCCD), and our personnel, to keep work on this essential building moving forward.

Celebrating Safety Week And Our Safety Successes

San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Recognizes Amoroso's Commitment to Safety
Sutro Reservoir Rehab and Seismic Upgrade
The San Francisco Public Utlities Commission presented an award in recognition of S. J. Amoroso's committment to safety on the Sutro Reservoir Rehabilitation and Seismic Upgrade Project. Since April 2009, construction projects reached seven million working hours on the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) without major injury.
Originally completed in 1953, Sutro Reservoir is the third largest reservoir in the City of San Francisco and adjacent to numerous fault lines. Seismic enhancements were required to ensure uninterrupted operations in the event of a major earthquake. The construction project included strengthening the reservoir roof and supporting structures, as well as upgrading the existing foundation. In addition to the seismic upgrades, Amoroso was responsible for other structural, mechanical, civil, electrical and security upgrades.
Departmental Update- Safety
Safety is an interesting topic at Amoroso; it's simultaneously the source of our biggest frustrations and greatest pride. We are never simply satisfied with our safety efforts because satisfaction can breed complacency. Yet we are exceedingly proud to be one of only 21 contractors in all of California who have achieved membership into Cal OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program.
