BGA Speaks at MBK Career Day!

BGA Speaks at MBK Career Day!

Vincent Restivo and Nick Pedlow joined My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Career Day, on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at Saunders Trades and Technical High School in Yonkers, New York. They spoke to the youth about pursuing a career in Engineering.

As part of the MBK movement, the City of Yonkers joins 250 cities and towns, businesses, and foundations across the country that are taking important steps to connect young people to mentoring, support networks, and the skills needed to find a good job, go to college and enjoy successful lives.

BGA partners with Pleasantville High School on an internship program that annually welcomes a High School student considering a career in engineering to our office for several weeks prior to graduation.  The student works alongside our engineers gaining real world experience.

We also hire rising college seniors each summer from accredited engineering programs as engineering interns.  Many of our own interns have joined us as full-time engineers upon graduation.

Our interns learn the use of computer programs for design and drawing production such as Bluebeam, Carrier Hap, AutoCAD and Revit.

The Justice Sonia Sotomayor Community School, a newly constructed, 82,000 sq ft, 4-story, all electric sustainable building — will house approximately 675 pre-K to 8.  The school will offer a medical clinic, dental and eye-care services, providing services to families in the community.

Barile Gallagher & Associates was an integral part of the school project team.  We assisted the district and our architectural partner, KG+G Architects, PC, with great emphasis on the quality of their learning environment and the community.  All new state-of-the-art high efficiency HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical systems complement the student learning experience.

Designing (and building) a sustainable future!

Our newly completed headquarters in Pleasantville, NY shows that we “walk the walk”. It features a super-insulated envelope, lots of northern glass for day lighting and views, ultra-high efficiency HVAC and plumbing, LED lighting throughout, roof mounted solar electric generation and native plantings. There’s a bus stop out front and a train station a block away. Now that’s sustainable!

New York Engineering Firm Simplifies Complex Challenges

Designing systems to operate buildings efficiently is a complex task. But the folks at Barile Gallagher & Associates Consulting Engineers, P.C., make the process easy for their clients by applying practical engineering solutions that bring their projects to life.

Laurence Barile, President of the firm, learned the importance of practical design from his father, Pat Barile and Pat’s partner, Tom Damiano, founders of the firm.

“They taught us that we don’t build theoretical structures; we build buildings that people have to live with and maintain for decades. You want solid calculations and a firm grasp of
the theory. But you must stand back and see the big picture. How is the building going to be used? How is the contractor going to install what you’re designing? How is the building owner going to maintain the systems?” says Laurence.

We are dedicated to advancing the art and science of building construction.  We have invested in the future of our company and the the industry at large by upgrading our IT infrastructure, updating our software and training our staff and are pleased to be working with Revit MEP on several of our current projects.

Rick Muenkel, a project manager and engineer in our mechanical engineering department has earned his LEED Green Associate credential from the US Green building Council.  Way to go Rick!

We are currently working with several municipal clients on Energy Performance Contracts. These projects make needed infrastructure repairs, reduce our clients energy use and literally pay for themselves in reduced operating costs.
