²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP

In 2018, the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP team began construction to replace the nearly 70-year-old bridge over Lake Champlain connecting North Hero and Grand Isle, Vermont. The North Hero-Grand Isle bridge had recently required several costly repairs, and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) determined that the best course of action would be to update it with an entirely new structure that will last for roughly 100 years.

Each year, the editors of ENR develop a list of the top newsmakers in construction, whittling it down to just 25 industry changemakers from across the country. This year, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP is honored that ENR selected Andrew Hallett, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP Senior Project Manager, to be featured on its Top 25 Newsmakers list.

²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP's Power & Energy team has seen tremendous growth in 2022, working with new clients in the South East and taking on milestone projects that break new ground for ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP. In May, the team was awarded a 100 kV rebuild in North Carolina and the company's first project for Central Electric Cooperative in South Carolina. Later in the summer, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP was awarded its first 230 kV bundle job for a client in Virginia. To wrap up the year, the team was awarded ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP's first-ever 500 kV transmission line project.

In March, four ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP apprentices headed south to Kissimmee, Florida, to compete in the ABC National Craft Championships. The team, who brought home one gold and two silver medals, included Dalton Mobley, Pipe Welder; Gavin Bailey, Structural Welder; Chris Langford, Lineworker Apprentice; and Adam Folsom, Pipefitter Apprentice. Additional ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP team members joined the competitors to assist with the event.
