Sundt Construction

Happy Thanksgiving! Since 2017, Sundt has partnered with St. Mary's Food Bank to help the nonprofit provide essential needs for those facing food insecurity. The food bank is currently assisting 1,700 families every single day—a record-breaking number. During the holiday season, St. Mary's also funds approximately half of their annual budget, making monetary donations more imperative than ever. This week, we spent our time volunteering with the organization and Sundt CEO Mike Hoover challenged employee-owners to raise $65,000 to support St. Mary's. Every dollar will be matched by Sundt Construction. Stay tuned to see our final donation amount in December. #SundtService

Project update 🚧 Traylor Construction Group Sundt Joint Venture is hard at work on the Tarrant Regional Water District's (TRWD) Integrated Pipeline, section 19 Long Tunnel Crossings project. In September, they achieved a project milestone: the final hole through is now complete! The team navigated variable ground conditions during the 5,846-foot drive with horizontal and vertical curves and steep 3% grades. Once complete, this integral project will deliver 350 million additional gallons of raw water per day to north central Texas, serving the community and supporting economic growth by bolstering much needed water delivery capabilities. The project is utilizing a highly specialized Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machine (EPB TBM). The 144-inch cylindrical TBM excavates the earth and installs a precast concrete segmented liner, while hydraulic cylinders continuously advance the machine forward. The excavated earth is carried out via screw conveyor and conveyor belt and transported back to the launch shaft where it is safely removed (approximately 25,000 cubic yards). Congratulations to the team on this milestone! #SundtSkill
