IMC equipment and Timber Pro feller buncher help SEC Construction Company LLC increase efficiency on job sites
Led by President Scott Childress, SEC Construction Company LLC has carved out a niche for itself in the Greenville, S.C., area., specializing in turnkey site development for subdivisions and commercial sites. Founded in 2008, the company blends modern technology and deep-rooted industry experience to complete projects efficiently.
“We take a piece of land from start to finish — from clearing to having the curbs and asphalt put down,” said Childress. “We provide all the grading and utility work. With our experienced team, we can handle just about anything.”
Childress’ lifetime of experience, starting from operating equipment at a young age under his father’s guidance, has ingrained a deep understanding of the construction industry’s nuances. Childress is able to leverage decades of industry insight with fresh, innovative approaches to site development.
“My dad had a construction company, so I’ve always been around it,” Childress remarked. “It’s where I got my on-site training. It’s in the blood. I can’t do anything different.”
The company prides itself on its ability to manage projects of varying scales, from small lots to expansive 120-acre developments. This flexibility, combined with a commitment to quality and efficiency, has earned SEC Construction a reputation for reliability and excellence in South Carolina’s construction scene.
“Our success over the years is largely due to our strong relationships and the exceptional team we’ve built,” Childress commented. “We have a lot of repeat customers that I’ve known for a long time.”
Another significant factor in SEC Construction’s operational success is its adoption of cutting-edge technology, particularly Komatsu Intelligent Machine Control (IMC) excavators and dozers. This technological advantage has enabled precision and efficiency, which helps save valuable time on projects.
“The IMC technology takes a lot of the guesswork out,” said Childress. “It speeds up the process, ensuring that we’re on grade. Ultimately, it makes everyone happier.”
Optimized productivity with Timber Pro
To further enhance its service offerings, SEC Construction recently acquired a Timber Pro TN745D feller buncher. This tracked machine allows the company to tackle land clearing with unprecedented efficiency, even in challenging wet conditions.
“We added the Timber Pro TN745D to ensure our projects stay on schedule,” noted Childress. “It’s impressive how it handles tree cutting cleanly and efficiently, even on inclined or topographically challenging land.”
By facilitating a cleaner and more organized site preparation phase, the Timber Pro TN745D not only optimizes productivity but also minimizes the environmental impact, aligning with SEC Construction’s dedication to sustainable practices.
Childress added, “Another good quality about the machine is that it’s built like a tank. The guys are safe when they’re handling these trees, and they don’t have to worry about something happening. Everybody gets to go home to their families, which is very important to us.”
Support from Linder
To find the right equipment for its jobs, SEC Construction works closely with Linder Industrial Machinery Company, particularly sales representative Tyler Halbert.
“Tyler’s great; he stays on top of everything, and if we need something he jumps right on it,” said Childress. “We get great support from Linder. Everyone there is responsive, which means a lot to us.”
That responsiveness helps ensure SEC Construction’s equipment, like the Timber Pro TN745D, operates at peak performance, so SEC Construction can take on demanding projects with confidence.
Furthermore, Linder provides comprehensive support, encompassing maintenance and training, which also enhances SEC Construction’s operational capabilities.
Looking ahead
As SEC Construction looks to the future, the focus remains on maintaining quality and managing growth sustainably. With a team that feels like a family paired with advanced equipment, SEC Construction is poised to continue its legacy of excellence in the South Carolina construction industry. ■
