Giovanni Albanese arrived in America from Italy in 1974 with little more than a work ethic. In 1991, he partnered with childhood friend Andrea Ciano, also an Italian immigrant, to found Albanese D&S, building it into a well-respected underground utility contractor known for taking on the toughest jobs in New England.
“There was no job too small…no job too difficult, and nobody who could out-work me.”
Giovanni Albanese, President
On the Cambridge Street Sewer Relief project in Worcester, crews diverted flow from a 60-by-84-inch brick interceptor into a new 54-inch main, building a flow-through bypass so novel that project engineers presented it at a national NEWEA conference.
“Their crews handled themselves in a very professional manner. I would definitely recommend Albanese D&S for sewer work, especially projects with difficult or unique situations like this Worcester job.”
John C. Potts, Weston & Sampson
On the $14.5 million CSO Sewer Separation Project for Lowell Regional Wastewater Utility, crews installed roughly 300 residential sump pump connections after the "Mother's Day storm," without disrupting a single dorm move-in at UMass Lowell.
“It was a pleasure working with Mr. Albanese, Mr. Ciano, Mr. Scenna, and their great team of hard working and talented employees.”
Mark Young, Lowell Regional Wastewater Utility
