To provide better #MentalHealth support to #construction workers in Columbus, Mid-city Electric's Paul Lawson has teamed up with ADAMH to develop a holistic initiative that has three levels: 1. Upstream, which is all about education and awareness. Part of this includes handing out red stickers that promote worker well-being. 2. Midstream, which focuses on building a culture where teams can identify people who are struggling and know where to point them. 3. Downstream which shares resources on how to handle the immediate aftermath of a death or suicide. Addressing mental health challenges in the #ConstructionIndustry requires a multi-fold approach. This program provides a great template for other companies and communities to follow. #ciasp #afsp #johndeere #nuca #artba #dynapac #ftba #acaf #nationalasphaltpavementassociation #centerstone

Recently worked up an estimate for a new client on a ground-up Panda Express in Michigan. Little bit of site work, building electrical and low voltage system pathways. Drawings were not great, very cut-up, lot of references to details requiring detailed takeoff. This marks his first time bidding a larger type of commercial project. I took special care to walk him through the entire process, including the initial project review, pre-bid strategy, quotables, final bid review, proposal, and even into post-bid negotiation and sales tactics. Got some feedback today on it actually, we weren't the low number, but not out of the game. Apparently nobody caught the disclaimer note on the 1st page entirely disqualifying the use of MC. It's a good place to be because it forces the GC to ask your competition those qualifying questions. If they missed it, they either have to admit to it and raise their cost or eat it. Not a good look if they missed something and it could level the playing field for you. #electrical #estimating #strategy

Key Challenges and EEC's Solutions: Working within the tight Roxbury site required extensive planning and real-time adjustments. Effective site coordination was critical to ensure efficient workflow and prevent disruptions. A robust underground and in-slab duct bank was implemented to route essential feeders to upper floors. This structure was essential for maintaining power integrity and efficiency throughout the building. Team Leadership: Foreman: Jim D. led the charge confidently on-site, ensuring smooth communication and collaboration across teams, keeping the project on track, and upholding safety and quality standards. Project Significance: This project demonstrates our capability to deliver on complex urban construction sites within confined spaces.

"Failing to plan is planning to fail." In this picture, Project Manager Eddie Haydel works with Carpenter Foreman Paul Miller and General Superintendent David Corona to review and refine their project phase plan. They're always on the lookout for ways to improve and optimize the process. Remember: Plan, Do, Check, Adjust. As a part of our commitment to Focus on Excellence, at Landis we cannot accept the idea of "If it's broken, why fix it?" Continuous improvement requires a mindset always seeking the opportunity to do better. #BuildingLastingRelationships

Across the United States, cities are reimagining and reinvigorating abandoned #infrastructure. #Parks and #communityspaces built on derelict sites have the potential to drive #economicrevitalization in neighborhoods. The #HighLine in #NewYorkCity was one of the earliest and most high-profile examples of transforming abandoned infrastructure into a public space in this manner; however, its popularity also contributed to rapid #gentrification and #displacement in the surrounding neighborhoods. While resulting from the "High Line Effect", many projects across the United States are addressing underutilized spaces through an equity-led lens.

Welcoming Jason Frericks, PE, PTOE, our newest Senior Project Manager in the Highway Design department! He brings 22 years of transportation engineering experience, working on a variety of traffic planning, roadway design, traffic signal design, and railroad engineering projects for DOTs, local governments, and private clients. In his new role, Jason will be managing roadway projects, working on the traffic components within those projects, and helping build the Kansas City office team. Welcome to #LifeAtLochmueller, Jason! Get to know Jason more 👇 What led you to your career path? “When I was in the 7th grade, my English teacher asked each of us to write a report on what we wanted to do when we grew up. I chose Civil Engineering since I wanted to be the one on the job site that knew what was going to be built. Now I enjoy seeing my work get constructed and solve real world problems. I enjoy transportation engineering since it has a community-focused impact of reducing congestion, improving drive times, and making roadways safer and smoother to travel.” #WhyWednesday What is your all-time favorite TV show or movie? “Any of the Bond movies.” This or that: Intersection, roundabout, or a different kind of innovative intersection? “It really depends on the situation and community you are located in. The traffic volumes may lend towards one type of intersection. If I had to pick one innovative intersection, I would say diverging diamond interchanges; it really is a creative way to solve an intersection problem at interchanges.” #newhire #welcome #welcometotheteam #newemployee #seniorprojectmanager #projectmanager #PM #roadwaydesign #highwaydesign #transportationengineering #transportation #trafficplanning #trafficsignaldesign #railroadengineering #civilengineering #solvingrealworldproblems
