When the lights go down, the Red Crew paves. 💪 The Red Crew placing the 2nd lift of base at the tie-in to US17A on the Berlin G. Myers Project. Tonight, they’re in the median in front of Summerville Skate Park, pushing the Berlin G. Myers Project closer to the finish line. 🌙🔥

It’s incredible to see how far this site has come since we first broke ground. Huge shoutout to the teams putting in the work every single day to make it happen.

Share Your Knowledge. In this video, Equipment Operator Brandon Eaddy is learning how to operate the motor grader - which some might say is one of the hardest pieces of machinery to master.

Everyone’s time to learn varies - but it’s awesome to see the patience and time some Superintendents like Adam Casselman take to pass on their skills to team members like Brandon. Great work! And great job Brandon.

Night crews recently wrapped up major girder installations on the Palmetto Commerce Interchange Project for Charleston County! Assistant Project Manager Shields Sullivan was on-site with the team while UIG completed the girder sets. 💪

This milestone brings us closer to the new Weber Blvd. over I-26, making travel smoother for the Charleston community. Big shoutout to the North Charleston Police Department for keeping things safe with a double-lane closure and to everyone on-site who made it a success.

Back in September, we kicked off our comprehensive training program, led by Training and Development Coordinator BD Laprad and trainers David Schmidtner and Rodney Chaplin.

We’ve just wrapped up backhoe training and are currently focusing on broom training. So far, there’s been a lot of improvement and a positive attitude from the team as they come in eager to learn new skills.

Rodney and David have been doing an excellent job teaching other team members, and it’s great to see those skills being applied in the field.

BD Laprad shared his excitement for the program, highlighting how it gives our employees the opportunity to grow. Looking ahead, we plan to offer training across all divisions.

We’re looking forward to continuing this journey of growth and development, so that our people have every chance to grow and thrive in everything that they do.

Job site visits are the best visits!

Recently, Quality Control Division Manager Randy Funderburg took his two-year-old grandson Benny to the Berlin G. Myers Project. Benny loves construction equipment and was excited to visit the team.

Foreman Jonathan LeGrand, and Superintendent Phil Whitaker, took him around and let him sit in all of the equipment from front-end loaders, backhoes, rollers, and dozers.

Randy shared “Jonathan, Phil, and all the operators treated Benny like a King. He’ll never forget it.”

Thank you Berlin G. Myers team for taking some time to show Benny around!
