Congratulations to our TSC team for bringing home this ARTBA Contractor Safety Award. GCTX Project Manager Ateesh Tiwari, GCTX Superintendent Wyatt Pavilcek, STX Area Manager Chris Compton and VP of Safety Nick Kakasenko. Great job guys !!! Transportation Developement Foundation Transportation construction companies from three states were recognized Sept. 23 for their outstanding employee safety programs during the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA) national convention in Amelia Island, Fla.   The annual ARTBA “Contractor Safety Awards” promote worker safety and health as core values of the transportation design and construction industry. Granite Construction was named safety program “Grand Champion.” The judges were impressed with Granite’s empowerment of their workers to enhance safety on every work site, as well as its communicating safety concerns and solutions to its employees. Companies were competitively selected based on their accident and injury rates on worksites as reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); their Experience Modification Rates (EMRs) as determined by their insurance carriers; and their safety programs. Finalists from three categories based on personnel hours worked in the previous year were invited to present before a panel of industry judges.   Selection criteria also included demonstration of key principles of safety excellence including management commitment, employee participation, incident investigation, auditing, planning and risk assessment.  The awards were presented as follows:  Less than 500,000 personnel hours: Perry Engineering, Winchester, Va.   500,000 - 1 million: Texas Sterling, Houston, Texas  Over 1 million: Granite Construction, Watsonville, Calif. 

Our TSC Project team has done a great job with the Sugarland Regional Airport project, and it looks like we may be in for a little more work out there. The project manager Martin Carranza along with superintendent Wyatt Pavlicek and project engineer Miguel Flores, plus all the foreman and their crews have done a great job thus far. Let’s continue to get it done with safety first and continue to shine!!!
