Callahan, Inc. begins construction/relocation for Cavium Networks

Callahan, Inc. began construction of the relocation and expansion of Cavium Network in early April. For the past eight months, Callahan has provided preconstruction services for the project. Cavium is a provider of highly integrated semiconductor processors that enable intelligent networking, communications, storage, video and security applications. The company will be moving from their current location at 100 Nickerson Rd. within the business park into a larger space located at 600 Nickerson Rd. "The new location will allow Cavium to expand further in the future," said Stephen Callahan Jr., project executive at Callahan. Cavium's data center will be supported by a 250 kilowatt (kw) generator with an 80 kw UPS (un-interruptible power supply) system. Sensitive humidity requirements for the (electronics) lab have been incorporated into the HVAC & architectural design. The company has been contracted for construction management as well as MEP/FP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, & fire protection) design/build services. Margulies Perruzzi Architects is the architect for the project. The project is expected to be complete by August. "We have worked closely with the brokers representing the tenant and the landlord throughout the site selection process and lease negotiation," Callahan said. Callahan, Inc. is a full service construction firm which specializes in construction management and preconstruction. The company's experience includes retail, multi-family, education, corporate, industrial, and historic preservation and rehabilitation projects. Callahan has extensive experience in the commercial construction industry and has worked with many large New England developers and property managers.
