n April 6, 2020 Starcon received the ABC National Safety Excellence Pinnacle Award for our overall safety performance. The Pinnacle Award is the highest honor given by ABC and reflects exceptional long-term safety performance and processes. Congratulations to our team and thank you for your uncompromising commitment to safety excellence! That same day, Starcon was also named winner of the ABC National Excellence in Construction Eagle Award for our Maintenance & Turnaround Program at the Marathon Canton Refinery. The Eagle Award is the highest award given and honors the nation’s most innovative and high-quality construction projects and safety programs. The award was earned for the routine maintenance work as well as the two turnarounds completed at the site. Routine maintenance included repair activities on heat exchangers,
towers, drums, and extensive pipe work throughout the refinery. Starcon also provided civil services, HVAC, and plumbing work for the plant. This work encompassed 125,606 work hours all performed with zero recordable injuries. The turnaround projects included the GHT performed during the month of March and the Major turnaround in July and August. The leadership teams for these projects included Mike Quintus, Erik Silvey, Scott Hepworth, and Steve Miller. The Starcon Team successfully completed both turnarounds working more than 110,000 work hours with no recordable events.
