The team in Quality Control is on a roll! Congratulations to Bryan Hutto on his big achievement. He recently went for his SCDOT HMA Level 3 QC Managers Certification and did fantastic.

Bryan’s been a part of the QC team here at Banks since 2007 and truly plays a key part in making that team as special as it is. We’re proud of his hard work so far, and his commitment to advancing his skills within Quality Control. Nice work, Bryan!

Here’s the thing you might not know about feather flags.

They can be a game-changer for paving crews. They not only increase efficiency but also provide more visibility on job sites.

Thanks to Paving Project Superintendent Victor Shannon for the idea, we were able to quickly implement these flags across our day and night paving crews. They’ve already made a significant impact and had a lot of positive feedback from some of the team. Here’s what some of them had to share:

Commercial Paving Field Manager Zach Sizemore: “They’ve been really helpful in certain scenarios, especially when we have two crews working on the same property. It’s important for both efficiency and design to ensure the correct material goes to the correct crews. They’re also extremely helpful on projects where entrances are more difficult for trucks to find.”

Logistics Manager Savannah Hathaway: “They are wonderful! Extremely helpful, especially when two crews are on the same job.”

Paving Foreman Henry Ford: “They are great—I love it. It stands out for the trucks.”

Bees Ferry 2014 ➡️ Today. Remember this view? Back in December 2014, the Bees Ferry Road Widening Project was in full swing. Swipe through to see how it looks now, also featuring the newly completed Glenn McConnell Parkway Project.

It’s amazing to see how our team’s work is helping to shape the future of the Lowcountry, making roads safer and more efficient for our community to travel every day.

Our Banks team and Quality Control Division Manager Randy Funderburg are so proud of Philip Brooks getting the Inertial Profiler Certification through NCAT

Reminiscing on last Saturday's Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy - Touch A Truck Event at the Charleston Fire Museum.

When schools are back in session, visiting our community and getting to talk with them about what we do is one of our teams favorite things to do.

In the photos, you can see Transportation Superintendent Angelo Todd and Truck Driver Ms. Mary Jensen spending time at the event, representing what this industry is all about, and supporting the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy's purpose of providing comfort and counsel to first responders, their families and the victims of crisis.

This is Kadian Downer. 💬 He’s a paving technician on one of our night crews. Kadian’s originally from Jamaica and moved to the U.S. in 2013. He lived in New Orleans for a while but then came to SC and liked it. He has one child and when he isn’t working at night, he’s installing privacy fences.

He’s been on our Banks team since March of this year, and along with liking SC so far, he likes working with our Banks team too.

Something fun about Kadian is that he dressed up as the Mask for Halloween this year - you know, that character Jim Carrey played. 🎭

Thanks for choosing Banks, Kadian! We’re thankful to have you on the team.
