Congratulations to Kiewit Infrastructure South who has been selected to design and build a $757.6 million desalination plant in Corpus Christi, Texas. This project will help secure the local water supply by converting seawater from the Inner Harbor ship channel into 30 million gallons of potable water daily. The plant is expected to be completed by 2027. While the project aims to mitigate drought risk, it has faced opposition due to concerns over environmental and community impacts, particularly for nearby minority neighborhoods. In the Texas water construction market, major infrastructure projects like this highlight the industry's growing focus on innovative water supply solutions, driven by population growth, industrial expansion, and climate concerns. The desalination sector, especially in drought-prone regions like Texas, is set to play a pivotal role in the future of water resource management. This project marks a significant investment in sustainable water infrastructure, and it reinforces opportunities for contractors, engineers, and local suppliers in the water and wastewater space. #Goodall Brazier #TexasWater #Construction

Blake Hancock, CEO, and Travis Greenwald, Vice President of the Service Division at Binswanger Glass, visited the Houston team this week. The team was enthusiastic to hear about where we've been and, more importantly, where we’re headed in the future. During the visit, we revisited the company’s core values, including my favorite: “Do what’s right for the customer.” True leadership is about more than just making decisions and issuing directives. It’s about having a deep understanding of what’s happening on the ground—listening to the perspectives of the people working on the frontlines. Our employees bring a unique perspective to both challenges and opportunities because they live the reality of our business every day. Leaders who seek out this insight by simply asking, “What do you think?” and truly listening, make better-informed decisions that drive real #TEAMWORK and progress. Blake and Travis demonstrated what great leadership looks like connecting with the team, learning from them, communicating and charting a course forward together. Here's to a bright future at #BinswangerGlass! #Teamwork #Values #CustomerFirst #LeadershipInAction #Texas #Glazing #Construction #GlassIndustry

Jerry spoke some wise words in this episode of Landman. As we continue to evolve in our careers and professional environments, one thing is clear: quality of life at work is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. In today's fast-paced, always-on world, quality of life is not just a buzzword—it's the foundation of a thriving, engaged, and sustainable workforce. Key Takeaways for Employers & Leaders: Support Mental Health Embrace Flexibility Foster a Culture of Respect Encourage Growth, Not Just Results Recognition & Appreciation Matter Let’s Lead with Purpose. Workplaces that prioritize a healthy work-life balance don’t just retain talent—they inspire it. When people feel supported in all aspects of their lives, they show up as their best selves, bringing their full potential to their work. The future of work is human-centered, and the most successful companies will be those that create environments where people can thrive both in and outside the office. Let’s commit to not just working hard but working smart—and living well. #WorkLifeBalance #QualityOfLife #Leadership #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkplaceCulture #MentalHealthMatters #SustainableWorkforce #EmployeeEngagement

Safety Versus Profitability What is the first thing that comes to mind when the word “safety” is mentioned in a meeting or on a jobsite? Perhaps you imagine superintendents reminding employees to wear their personal protective equipment (PPE). You may picture a checklist of all the necessary precautions to be completed prior to starting a job. It is often perceived that safety slows an operation down, when safety should be associated with profitability. In an Engineering News-Record survey, 63 percent of contractors believe safety has no effect on profitability. The above is however untrue as a poor safety record will indeed negatively affect your company's bottom line. Allow our consultants to come out and assess your company's safety program and to direct you on a path of massive savings going forward. Call us on WhatsApp +27826212206 or email [email protected]

“Celebrate the wins.” -Andy Hulsey “Mark every milestone.” -Lorenzo (Lawrence) Perez This past week was a good week. We cleared a significant hurdle on an important project by delivering gas service to a mission critical facility. Seeing the pressure gauge rise, seeing that task completed—nothing beats that moment of accomplishment on a construction job, especially when it’s been hard fought day in and day out like most things are on a jobsite. In that moment I was reminded of advice I’ve been given by two mentors in particular who have helped me grow as a project manager and a leader. Advice that matters so much when you’re in the trenches every day fighting. That sometimes you gotta slow down, pick up your head, and just appreciate every incremental win. Because that’s how you attack every big problem and every big project. Bird by bird, task by task, milestone by milestone. If you don’t appreciate those moments, you’ll burn out. If you don’t get energy from them, you’ll run on empty. I’m so grateful to the people I’ve gotten to work with in this industry. And thanks to them I’ll always remember and always remind every team I’m apart of that it’s important to celebrate every win and mark every milestone. Now, on to the next hurdle. What milestone did you hit today, and how can you stop and celebrate?

For a homeowner, hiring an unlicensed contractor is only strictly illegal if you are hiring a contractor to perform work that requires a permit from your local government. Even if you aren’t, though, hiring an unlicensed contractor in Florida can still come with a slew of legal stressors, the most serious of which is this fact: you can be liable if the unlicensed worker is injured on your property. As far as the law is concerned, when you hire an unlicensed contractor, you have hired an employee. That can mean that: You’ve stepped into the role of an employer, rather than just being the customer getting service You can be fully responsible for injuries the contractor suffers while working for you. You may be on the hook to pay for medical bills, lost wages, and potentially even workers’ compensation if the unlicensed HVAC contractor is (or claims to be) injured while on duty for you. Potentially skyrocketing costs. It always feels good to find a good deal. However, HVAC system installs and repairs need to be completed with precision. If any mistakes are made or problems are missed, you could be left paying for the entire service again. You may even have to pay to replace your system or fix damage to your home. Florida State Government Cracks Down on Unlicensed HVAC Contractors Local authorities in Florida recognize the dangers and costs that come with unlicensed HVAC contractors. That’s why they take licensing seriously and why they’re proactive about cracking down and penalizing unlicensed technicians. When contractors are found to be operating without licensing and certification, they can incur heavy fines, legal fights, and potentially worse. If you’re ever unsure whether a contractor is licensed, ask to see proof! Any licensed professional would be more than happy to honor that request. All in all, it’s simpler, safer, and more cost-effective to hire a certified professional HVAC contractor from a reputable local company when you need service!

We're happy today to announce another big milestone for our company, "Laser Isotope Separation Technologies (LIS Technologies Inc.) Contracts Leading Construction Specialist to Oversee $1 Million Redevelopment of its Secured Facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee". Our recently aquired Oak Ridge facility is set to transform into a modern and secure space dedicated to our next phase of physical test work. A key highlight will be the establishment of a dedicated area for the Phase 1 Test Loop demonstration of our proprietary laser uranium enrichment process, known as CRISLA. This facility will not only serve as the central hub for our development but will also play a crucial role in the production of stable isotopes for medical and scientific research. “The new LIST headquarters in Oak Ridge, TN will be converted into a “closed area,” which will allow LIST to perform research on its laser enrichment technology and protect said technology as Classified in accordance with NRC regulations, prior to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) declaring the LIST technology as Restricted Data,” said J. Keith Everly, Head of Security and IP Management of LIS Technologies Inc. “We will work closely with the regulatory frameworks to streamline the process and ensure regulatory compliance of CRISLA, the technology that LIST plans to commercialize.” Christo Liebenberg, Chief Executive Officer of LIS Technologies Inc. added, “We are taking a pro-active approach with the security upgrade. It is a short matter of time before we demonstrate that the CRISLA process can produce practical quantities of enriched uranium product. We want our facility to be ready and secure before the DOE classifies the technology. This is a major threshold for the Company and positions us closer towards to our ultimate goal of enriching uranium for the next generation of advanced nuclear reactors in the United States.” Our proprietary laser enrichment technology stands out as the only proven US-origin solution in this field. It’s designed to be scalable, efficient, and cost-effective, optimized for both Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) and High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU). By overcoming the limitations of traditional pulsed CO2 lasers, our streamlined design enhances performance through lower absorption and shorter wavelengths. The redevelopment of our Oak Ridge facility is not just an investment in infrastructure; it’s a strategic move that positions LIS Technologies Inc. at the forefront of advanced nuclear technology. We are excited about the future and the opportunities this facility will create—not just for us, but for the broader scientific and nuclear communities. Christo Liebenberg Randy Beatty J.

Trench safety is important for contractors. Easy to do, easy to train but costly to NOT do: "OSHA's investigation resulted in severe penalties for Hurtado Construction Co., including one willful citation for permitting employees to work in hazardous trenches without proper protection, and five serious citations. These serious citations pertained to the absence of first aid provision, lack of emergency escape ladder, disregard for saturated excavation conditions, and improper use of reinforced concrete boxes for protection during excavation work. The company now faces penalties totaling $257,811 for these violations." https://lnkd.in/eMCP69_F #osha #constructionsafety #constructionhr
