Birtley Project

The above is a rendering of a project we were recently awarded with Gray Construction.  Birtley is a subsidiary of Shandong Borun Industrial Processing Equipment in China.  This plant will manufacture coal processing equipment and is the first Chinese-owned manufacturer to locate in the Commonwealth.

We will provide design-build services for this 67,500-Square foot manufacturing facility with a 2,000 Amp service in the Blue Grass Business Park in Lexington.

Bowling Green Gauntlet & Mud Run

 

Congratulations to Curtis White and Dale Carter for competing in (and finishing) the First Annual Bowling Green "Mud Run" !!!

The Bowling Green Gauntlet took place at Phil Moore Park on Saturday, August 23rd and benefited the Family Enrichment Center in their efforts to prevent child abuse.  This was a 5K run that included obstacles called "Mud in Your Mouth", "Sinister Staircase", Don't Look Down" and "Cliff Hanger" to name a few.  Curtis and Dale had a GREAT time at this event and plan on putting a team together for next year.   

Pace Dairy - Crawfordsville, Indiana

Pace Dairy is coming to a close.  Overall it was a very good project to be a part of.  Like any project it had its moments, but we adapted and overcame.  I am pleased to say that the crew I had out here is doing a very good job for me and from the customer's response they are very pleased as well!

I believe that several people including myself have been able to use this project as an educational stepping stone in our careers.

Demand for Arc Flash Studies on the Rise

The Demand for Arc Flash Studies is on the Rise...

This summer we have seen an increased interest in Arc Flash Studies.  We completed a total of 3 Arc Flash Studies last year, which included Country Oven Bakery located in Bowling Green, Kentucky; Whirlpool in Cleveland, Tennessee and Mitsuba in Bardstown, Kentucky.

We have 3 Arc Flash Studies that are under way as well and should be completed by the end of August.  The name and location of these projects are Schott-Ghemtron in Sweetwater, Tennessee, Felker Brothers in Marshfield, Wisconsin and Felker Brothers in Glasgow, Kentucky.  We are scheduled to start the Arc Flash Study for Daicel in Beaver Dam, Kentucky in September and plan to be completed by the end of October.

We are also meeting with Dart Container in Horse Cave this week to finalize the details of an Arc Flash Study for their entire campus which includes a total of 10 buildings.
