The core values and business principles at Steve P. Rados, Inc. run long and deep. They originate from the hard work and determination of the company founder, Stojan (later “Americanized” to Steve) Rados, who immigrated to America from Herzegovina, formerly a part of Yugoslavia, in 1910 at the age of 17. Today the company prospers under the very capable hands of the founder’s sons, Walter and Steve S. Rados. Walter and Steve are co-presidents with Walter overseeing the heavy construction division and Steve managing the highway division. Both, together with each and every employee and team member, put great emphasis on safety and teamwork.
“Teamwork has allowed us to successfully execute this project for LADWP,” says Rados. “Our project team leaders consist of Brandon Conaway (project manager), Gonzalo Ceja (superintendent), and Chris Boyer (foreman). Together these three individuals, along with all of their team members, have worked seamlessly with LADWP, establishing an environment of trust and cooperation. We would also like to acknowledge Richard Carbajal, construction manager with LADWP, for his outstanding work and willingness to interact with our Rados team to help make this project a great success.” The City Trunk Line South – Unit 4/Phase 2 is just one of three projects contracted to Steve P.
Rados, Inc. by the LADWP, with projects ranging in value up to $45 million over the past seven years. “We are very proud of not only the work we have performed for LADWP but also the relationships we have formed with so many individuals,” says Rados. “We look forward to serving LADWP now and in the future.” For more information on Steve P.
