A PUBLICATION OF CROSSLAND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY • SPRING/SUMMER 2015
Red Iron’s Corner Thanks to Dr. Jeff Hale, I was honored to serve as commencement speaker for NEO A&M College. In my speech to the graduates I explained that little shifts of three or four degrees greatly affect the place at which you end up in life. I originally started out thinking the speech would be something like “Dream Big” or “Reach for the Stars,” but upon reflecting about the start of our company and our history it became clear the little shifts of three or four degrees helped make us grow significantly. My dad quit school in 7th grade because kids were making fun of him. He went to work in the lead and zinc mines before being drafted into the Army. After spending 13 months on the front lines in Korea, he returned home, married my mom, and 10 kids followed. While in the Army, dad got his G.E.D. and learned the value of education. While working a full time job and raising the first six kids, he managed to complete four years of night classes at NEO and earned his Associate Degree. That shift, that change of three to four degrees changed my family’s life, the lives of our employees, and our communities. Dad soon started Crossland Construction out of our family garage with two trucks and one set of tools. What he lacked in equipment he made up for in determination. Today, with exciting new technologies like BIM 3D modeling and Blue Beam, we can improve project communication and collaboration. We are always seeking to improve in “The Crossland Way,” with current efforts to standardize project management tools. Our new venture, Crossland Precast, will offer new value and products to our customers. We have our first leadership group to identify the future leaders of Crossland Construction Company. Our first intern coordinator was hired to help invest in the 100 new interns learning their craft. Last but not least, we have a new strategic plan with a goal of 50 by 50 – to become a Top 50 contractor by our 50th anniversary in 2027. These things are fueling our growth. This year we jumped 13 spots to number 81 in the Top 400 contractor list. All small shifts with Big Results. Keep shifting!

contract for the Arts Center in November of 2012. Two years later, more than 1,000 attendees gathered for a ceremonial ribbon cutting to celebrate the completion of this state-of-the-art facility. The Bicknell Family Center for the Arts is nothing short of world class. The 1,100-seat performance hall was professionally tuned to meet every acoustical need, from a high-energy, physical musical group to an individual speaker. There are sliding panels located on the perimeter that can be adjusted inch by inch to deflect or absorb sound. Curtains in the balcony can be opened just a bit, all the way, or closed entirely for the same purpose. The incorporated design elements create a very intimate, warm space.

VALUE PLACE Kansas City, Missouri— Value Place of Kansas City, Missouri is conveniently located off of I-70 and Stadium Drive, just across the highway from Arrowhead Stadium, home to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Kauffman Stadium, home to the Kansas City Royals. Value Place is an extended-stay hotel with 124 fully furnished rooms, each with the same essentials visitors have at home, for a weekly rate of $259.00. Room amenities include a modified kitchen with a full-size refrigerator and freezer, two-burner stove top, and microwave, and living room and bedroom furnishings. Hardwood floors and flat screen televisions add to the home-like interior. The hotel also has laundry facilities. Crossland completed the structure in seven short months, despite difficult winter weather and challenges with the dirt work and utility operations. Because of demonstrated teamwork and ease of communication, Crossland has since had the opportunity to build numerous Value Place Hotels in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Colorado.

Wyandotte, OK — The Wyandotte Tribe of Oklahoma opened a $13 million casino addition and renovation in March 2015. This 68,100 square foot space has a four lane, competition-grade bowling alley by Murray International, a remodeled restaurant, a VIP lounge, and the new Club 60 West, with an entertainment venue that seats 500. There are private party rooms and a billiards and darts area as well. Custom designed carpet is featured throughout, with LED lighting, granite, and high-end millwork. The project architect, The Worth Group, created a dynamic contemporary design. Their team members were both effective and efficient in finding resolutions to unforeseen challenges. The entire exterior received an upgrade, with aluminum composite panels. The original casino, also a Crossland project, remained open during construction. Our teams communicated seamlessly with the Owner to complete the project in phases to avoid disrupting the casino’s daily operations. Our teams finished the project on time and on budget.

Via Christi SURGERY CENTER
Pittsburg, KS— Via Christi Hospital in Pittsburg, Kansas recognized the need for additional space to accommodate their constantly-advancing healthcare technology equipment. Additional operating room space was also needed. The new 40,000 square foot surgery center is their largest hospital construction project since the original structure was built in 1971. The new center houses eight procedure rooms – five operating rooms, two endoscopy suites, and a minor procedure room. Via Christi is also now the home to the robotic-assisted, minimally invasive DaVinci Robotic Surgical System. A new waiting room is located closer to the procedure rooms, giving families of patients better access to the physicians and nurses treating their loved ones. All pre and post operating rooms in the Surgery Center are private. Brand new medical equipment and state-of-the-art surgical space were part of construction. Via Christi is a facility that provides state-of-the-art, compassionate care to the patients of Southeast Kansas. Crossland feels honored to have had the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of our neighboring Pittsburg community.
A dedication and blessing ceremony was held at the new center a few weeks prior to opening; community members, hospital executives and employees, and government officials were all invited to attend. The ceremony was held in the entrance beneath a large cross created by Steven Seybold. At the dedication’s conclusion, Father Rick Kotrba, Associate Pastor of Our Lady of

KROGER - JONESBORO Jonesboro, AR— Crossland Construction’s strong relationship with Kroger, the well-known international grocer, allows for continued collaborations with them as General Contractor on projects nationwide. This attractive 125,000 square foot store in Jonesboro, Arkansas had an existing foundation on the project site from an old, torn-down shopping mall. The project team came in to remove the existing foundation, then completely reworked the site, poured foundations, and finally built the structure.

REASOR’S remodel Broken Arrow, OK— Crossland recently managed the major renovation of the Reasors store in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, with truly spectacular results. In only 11 weeks, the entire store interior was upgraded with new finishes, fixtures, and a streamlined design scheme sure to impress shoppers. The building’s exterior received an incredible facelift, with wood timbers, a standing seam roof, EIFS, stone veneer, and stamped concrete. Our project teams worked nearly around the clock, six days a week, to deliver the 78,000 square foot project on time and considerably under budget. The Owner was very pleased and, since this project’s completion, Crossland has started our third remodel for the chain.

martinrea international Riverside, MO — In December 2014, Martinrea International, Inc. of Ontario, Canada opened the doors to their new 275,560 square foot full-service manufacturing facility in Riverside, Missouri. Martinrea is a Tier One automotive supplier, and this $14 million state-of-the-art assembly and distribution plant is their first facility built in the United States. Employees will manufacture welded, corrosion-resistant engine cradles for the nearby General Motors Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas. Martinrea partnered with the Kansas City-based developer Tutera Group, known for their retail, office, and seniorliving projects. In fact, the Martinrea facility was the first manufacturing project the Tutera Group had ever undertaken. Crossland Construction and Davidson Architecture & Engineering were chosen as the designbuild team. Crossland has worked with Davidson on several projects over the years, and we were excited to partner with them again for the Martinrea project. A large part of the plant’s exterior is painted concrete tilt wall. The office space at the East end of the building has a mixture of window walls and EIFS. The plant’s interior is similar to that of a warehouse, with racking requirements of nearly 30 feet clear height. In terms of schedule and complexity, this project had a very tight eight month schedule, which included both design and construction. Four of the eight months brought aboveaverage rainfall; June and October brought over nine inches of rain to the area. However, the project team planned ahead for wet weather and made the decision to install a mixture 14
of fill that included a high percentage of rock and sand, or “Findley Dirt.” This base allowed the sub soil foundation equipment to operate on top of the pad even after a heavy rain. Despite the rainy conditions, Crossland was able to complete the facility 21 days ahead of schedule. Because the project’s location is that of a former river bottom, the various soils required over 3,000 geo-piers to be installed prior to the concrete foundations. Geo-piers are an efficient, cost-effective foundation solution used on intermediate foundations to help solve settlement problems. Martinrea is a first-class company and a real win for the entire Kansas City metro area. Crossland is proud to have participated in the project. Project Manager: Superintendents: Owner: Architect:

pace industries Harrison, AR — Crossland began the PACE Industries project following a fire that damaged nearly 60,000 square feet of their 350,000 square foot plant. The fire occurred in the manufacturing department and damaged over 85% of their production equipment. The decision was made to quickly get the plant up and running by moving the damaged equipment to the warehouse on the opposite end of the building. The Harrison manufacturing plant is PACE’s largest plant and provides products to many Fortune 500 companies. It was imperative that Crossland work quickly and effectively. First, our teams removed the concrete floor and poured a 450 by 50 foot, 2 foot 8 inch thick machine foundation. The necessary infrastructure was then placed in the warehouse to make the space conducive to manufacturing. Crossland worked in conjunction with PACE as they continued to rebuild damaged machines, including installation of new compressors, cooling towers, HVAC units, transformers, and dust collectors. All of the piping and hookups to electrical, gas, and water had to be established for the production

city of monett WATER TREATMENT FACILITY
Monett, Missouri— The City of Monett is home to a municipal water system that serves approximately 8,700 people, 450 commercial establishments, and ten major industrial facilities. The system’s average daily demand was 2.8 million gallons and was increasing. As the demand continued to grow, the City decided to build a new 4.0 million gallon water treatment facility. On June 4, 2013 Crossland Heavy Contractors, Inc. was the low bidder at just over $12 million. Initially, the project was over budget. However, through value engineering, Crossland Heavy Contractors and Allgeier, Martin and Associates, Inc. were successful in reducing the overall cost of the facility to a new contract value of $11.3 million without losing any major project components. The new facility is a precast concrete filter building with an Actiflo Package Clarification Unit, a (4) cell sand filtration system, chlorination and fluoridation components, various laboratories, and office and conference spaces. One million gallons of treated water will be stored at a time in a 100 foot wide, below ground clear well that is cast-in-place concrete. A pre-fabricated high service and backwash pump station was placed between the filter building and the clear well to pump treated water through the City’s water system and to backwash the sand filtration system. A lagoon was also constructed in order to store backwash water, along with various flow control units and yard piping. The estimated completion date for the project was March 2015. However, Crossland was pleased to hand the facility over to the City of Monett on February 10, 2015.
