Challenges and Results

This project earned the NECA 2024 Project Excellence Award for Transportation/Infrastructure.

The project highlights our capability to handle challenging environments and complex tasks while maintaining the highest standards for quality, safety, and efficiency. As a former U.S. Steel industrial site, (where we completed mechanical and electrical work in the 1950s), the location presented numerous challenges for all crews involved. By employing horizontal directional drilling (HDD) beneath train tracks to complete electrical installations, the team demonstrated its ability to tackle significant challenges in meeting all milestones and delivering a successful project.
