What The Halcyon Construction Corp does

Halcyon Construction Corporation is a privately held infrastructure construction contractor founded in 1979 by Charles Casarella and Joseph Zuzzolo, headquartered at 65 Marble Avenue in Pleasantville, New York. The company operates two core divisions: a Civil Construction Division handling heavy and highway construction, site work, and water-sewer-electric-telephone-gas main installation and relocation; and a Mechanical Construction Division focused on sewage treatment plants, water treatment plants, and pump station construction and retrofitting. Halcyon also maintains proprietary no-dig/trenchless technology capabilities for minimally disruptive water main and sewer installation and repair, a capability demonstrated on a major NYC project in 2002 and subsequently featured in industry trade publications.

Halcyon's revenue model is exclusively project-based, generated through competitive bidding on municipal infrastructure tenders. The customer base consists of three named government agencies — NYC Department of Environmental Protection, NYC Department of Design and Construction, and Westchester County Department of Public Works — with all projects requiring re-bid through public procurement processes. Geographic operations span the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT) with field presence maintained through leased yard facilities in Brooklyn and the Bronx plus a Bronx field office.

The business is founder-led, with both original founders still active and management team members holding 30-37 year tenures. Leadership brings over 200 years of collective industry experience, including licensed Professional Engineers on staff. The company has no external investment, no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no publicly disclosed financials. Notable ongoing projects include the DUMBO/Vinegar Hill historic infrastructure reconstruction in Brooklyn (expected 2025 completion) and the Chambers emergency sewer reconstruction in the Bronx.
