2020’S TOP PROJECTS finally RECOGNIZED
COVER STORY | MARCH 2021 By: Macie Morgan, Membership & Communications Coordinator
In true 2020 fashion, we were unable to recognize the 2020 Excellence in Construction Award Winners in December of 2020, like usual, but were thrilled to recognize these incredible projects and companies on March 18, 2021.
Of the 32 projects that were submitted last year, 25 were awarded Excellence and Merit awards. Thirteen projects from eight different companies received an Excellence award and 12 projects from 10 different companies received a Merit award.
The night started with cocktail hour provided by pelican member, Catering Cajun, where the attendees were able to browse the project posters and mingle with fellow award winners.
As the dinner began we were lead in pledge and prayer by Josh Rounds, ABC Pelican Chair Elect followed by a few words from 2020 Chairman, Carlos Guidry who recognized all of the incredible things ABC Pelican and its members did in a not so incredible 2020.
The 2020 Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) Award recipients were recognized by Pelican President David Helveston (see page 15). Helveston also recognized the 2020 ABC National EIC WInners. Eagle Award winners include Cajun Industries, LLC for their Entergy Churchill Substation Project and Performance Contractors, Inc for their Total Petrochemicals - Effluent Piping Replacement Project. Classic Industrial Services (Sofidel: Autumn II), Moore Industries, LLC (ExxonMobil Occupied Buildings - BRCP CPMO and Lab Hardening) and Cajun Industries, LLC (Shintech SPP3 - Utilities Civil) all received Pyramid Awards.
After the recognition of the STEP award recipients and National EIC award recipients, the 2020 ABC Pelican Excellence in Construction winners began taking the stage.
Excellence winners included; Cajun Industries, LLC (4), GROUP Industries, LLC, The Lemoine Company (2), EXCEL Contractors, Inc., Barriere Construction Co., LLC, MMR Constructors, Inc. (2), Classic Industrial Services, and Moore Industries.
Merit winners included; MAPP (2), APC Construction, LLC, Beard Construction Group, Great River Industries, RES Contractors, LLC, Performance Contractors, Inc., Arkel Constructors (2), Westgate, LLC, MMR Constructors, Inc. Sealevel Construction, Inc.
For two years now the Pelican Chapter has picked a project to present the ‘Pelican Award’ to. The Pelican Award goes to the member company that used the most ABC Pelican members as subcontractors or suppliers on their projects. This year, the Pelican Award was awarded to Cajun Industries, LLC for the Shintech - SPP3 Utilities Civil project.
A ‘Project of the Year’ award is also chosen every year and this year it was awarded to Cajun Industries, LLC for the ExxonMobil BIOX Floating Sludge Mitigation Project.
On belalf of the ABC Pelican Chapter, congratulations to all of the companies that were considered excellent in construction in 2020, it is an honor to have all of you as members.
We would also like to thank our Excellence In Construction Awards Banquet Sponsors.
