CROWDER

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Happy Birthday to Crowder!

Crowder celebrated its 75th birthday on July 1st, 2022. It is remarkable for any company to stay in business for 75 years, and truly amazing for a construction company to live through all of the changes in our country over the last 75 years. That must mean that Crowder has done a lot of things right, but just as important, has learned from mistakes, to make Crowder stronger.

Over the years Crowder leaders have focused on the following which I believe have been keys to Crowder’s success over the long-term: • • • • • •

Most importantly, provide our employees a safe place to work.

Provide our employees opportunities for growth – retention of our employees.

Maintain “Crowder” culture and values – do the right thing.

Maintain financial stability – be able to survive during the hard times.

Be innovative and forward thinking – provide value to our clients.

Develop future leaders at all levels of the company – be ready when the bell rings.

If you look through this list, the majority relate to people. Crowder employees at all levels have been the true key to our success. Otis and Bill, along with their Dads, O.P, and Bill Crowder, Sr., have built and maintained a solid foundation for success. Our job is to continue their legacy of success by doing all the things above but with focus on supporting and growing Crowder’s greatest asset, OUR PEOPLE. Lynn Hansen,

INSIDE MISSION STATEMENT We are dedicated to superior performance and committed to making a positive difference for our clients, our communities and in the lives of our employees.

Please go to your bulletin board and use our Employee Concern and Complaint Procedure (or call 1-800-849-2966 and ask for Employee Services) to get your question answered, your concern addressed or your problem resolved.

Notice to proceed for the project was issued on June 1, 2021. To get a jump on cost escalations and extended lead times for delivery, procurement of materials and equipment commenced earlier in April. The project scope includes approx. 7,500 lf of buried DIP, ranging in size from 6”- 48”, plus approx. 600 lf of 18” storm piping & precast concrete structures. Yard piping installation commenced in mid-August and will continue through summer ’22.

Through April of 2022, the yard pipe crew, led by Ernesto Izaguirre, has installed, tested & concrete encased approx. 900 lf of underslab DIP, plus installed & successfully tested roughly another 4,000 lf of DIP yard pipe. Despite encountering seventy rain days (fourteen in excess of 1” of rain), the crew has managed to maintain the overall project schedule, and most importantly, perform safely. For this, and everything else that they do each day that is not mentioned, we gladly say thank you and proudly recognize this crew as outstanding members of the Crowder Team. Keep up the good work fellas!

Heavy Civil: Cowans Ford Floating Bulkhead Project The Heavy Civil featured crew is led by Superintendent, Chris Harkins, on the Cowans Ford Floating Bulkhead Project. This project took a great deal of teamwork to overcome multiple challenges to deliver a superior product for our client. Chris and his crew spent many days in adverse weather maintaining equipment needed for the dewatering operation and placing 140 yards of concrete to within 1/8’’ tolerance. Not only did this team overcome these challenges, but they did so safely while maintaining a great work environment.

CORNISH CREEK WTP

Crowder Chosen for Cornish Creek WTP and Water Supply Improvements Covington, GA: Making large-scale improvements to a water treatment plant or water supply facility is never a simple task. Such was the case with Crowder’s recent project overhauling the Cornish Creek facilities.

To call the project complex would be an understatement. Indeed, the project encompassed construction of a new floating dock pump station,

equalization basin, two sludge thickeners, thickened sludge pump station, screw press dewatering facility, residuals splitter box, sodium hypochlorite storage and feed, lime storage and feed improvements, emergency generator and switchgear, and new 36” raw water and finished water line.

A $23M upgrade, the project was planned for an 18-month timeline.

Project Beginnings As for the project’s genesis, the Newton County Board of Commissioners approved and issued a Notice to Proceed to Crowder on September 30, 2020, for Phase II-Construction of the Cornish Creek WTP and Water Supply Facilities Improvements Project in Covington, GA.

[4]

THIRD EDITION 2022

This came on the heels of a year-long effort

by Crowder, along with design partner Hazen and Sawyer, to complete Phase I-Design of the progressive design-build project.

It’s worth noting that the majority of the project received funding through an SRF

Loan from the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA). Work was begun utilizing Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), and Davis-Bacon wage rates. Additionally, the American Iron and Steel Requirement (AIS) was incorporated into the project.

One unique aspect of the project involved a new floating dock pump station. The system was designed to include three 100hp pumps, intake filters and screens, and all piping and controls to provide additional intake capacity for the plant. The entire system was positioned approximately 250’ from the shore of Lake Varner Reservoir. An aluminum gangway was developed to provide easy access for operation and maintenance.

Crowder’s team faced a number of unusual challenges, including extended lead times for equipment and materials. Upon award of the project, the project management team was able to execute

the majority of the equipment and subcontract orders within the first three months, with all materials arriving on or even ahead of schedule.

The way Crowder met these challenges led to early success in this progressive design-build project… and, to new opportunities being awarded. Specifically, because of the successes on the Cornish Creek project, as well as Crowder’s relationship with Newton County, Crowder was awarded Phase 1 - Design for the Alcovy Pump Station and Williams Street WTP Improvements Project, another progressive design-build project for Newton County.

VDOT ROUTE 671 BRIDGE REPLACEMENT

Crowder Tapped by VDOT for Dual Bridge Replacement Franklin,VA: Major infrastructure repairs are always massive undertakings. For instance, replacing a failing bridge is a fairly large-scale, time-intensive project. So, when the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) needed not one, but two identical bridges replaced, they were quick to enlist the specialists at Crowder.

Driving Pile

Bridge Restrictions Replacing a pair of 315’ long, two-lane bridges on Route 671 is no small feat, but this particular project brought some added challenges. For one thing, the bridges lead up to a cotton gin, which means a number of traffic restrictions during the harvest season.

On top of that, the Crowder team wasn’t allowed to do any water work during seasonal fish migrations.

[6]

THIRD EDITION 2022

To address these issues, Crowder employed some tight scheduling, ensuring the bridges were completed promptly to avoid any long delays for the local traffic. And to ensure that all the water work was completed before the fish migration season began, Crowder leaned heavily on multiple crews, breakneck scheduling, and a whole lot of pre-planning to ensure seamless execution.

Technology also played a major part in the completion of this project. A large cylinder pile hammer was required for the job, which in turn needed a 300-ton crane to support it. A very hefty temp trestle was brought in to bolster the crane.

The Crowder team’s commitment and ingenuity paid off, not just for them but for local motorists. The team both finished the first bridge a week early and re-opened the road a week early, surely to the relief of everyone who lives in the area.

Additionally, the Crowder team says they enjoyed a great relationship with everyone at VDOT, collaborating with them to overcome a number of initial design issues and still completing the project ahead of schedule.

GOOSE CREEK POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER

Crowder Team Upgrades Wiring at Goose Creek Power Distribution Center

Goose Creek, SC: A team from Crowder was recently recruited to rewire the 4160V Dominion Williams power system. Upgrading the system to a new Power Distribution Center (PDC) involved running cable bus feeds from the auxiliary plant transformers out to the motors and loads in the plant. The project also encompassed control wiring for the plant control systems and protective relaying.

A Massive Upgrade The project was initiated due to a drive to have all medium-voltage plants upgraded, including switchyard control upgrades. A significant undertaking, the project required Crowder to send their typical 14-person crew, then to augment that team at various points with structural, civil, and electrical engineers. At times, the team swelled to more than 30 total members.

In total, the project encompassed 10 tons of rebar, 109 yards of concrete, 41 tons of steel, 6,900’ of cable tray, and 197,000’ of cable. In monetary terms, it was a $4.8M project

[8]

THIRD EDITION 2022

Crowder’s team faced a number of significant obstacles with this project, starting with the difficulty of installing foundations for steel when they had very limited space to maneuver their equipment.

To address this challenge, Crowder’s team relied heavily on Foreman Steve Hartley, who has been with Crowder over 26 years and was promoted to Site Superintendent in May of this year. He used smaller equipment, installed foundations in stages, and planned ahead on which foundations to do and in what order so he did not paint himself into a corner.

Safety was a concern from the start, and Hartley and his team ensured that all work was done safely, approved by a third-party inspector, and did not require any rework.

The civil work was particularly challenging due to the close work with high voltage plant systems and the actual proximity to the plant structure and foundation.

Running new power feeds to an operational power plant was also challenging, as all the best routes for running those lines were already in use by the plant. Crowder’s team

addressed this problem through careful planning, clear communication with the engineering team, and collaboration with site employees.

Still another challenge faced was pulling cables through some tight areas and some significant elevation changes. Here, Danny Moses and Shane Robbs worked to rig and setup three tuggers, three lifts, and scaffolding. Radio communication and timing were critical to get the cable pulled without damage.

Challenging Project, Great Outcomes Ultimately, this job was a very complex one, requiring much imagination during the initial bidding phase due to COVID restrictions on site walkthroughs.

Crowder’s team was awarded this job over four other electrical contractors based on their previous job performances and their reliance on diverse suppliers.

The Crowder team worked 20,000-man hours without any safety issues and only one environmental incident, which was a ruptured hose on a rental lift.

CAGC HALL OF FAME

CAGC Hall of Fame Inductions On July 29, 2017, O.P. and W.T. Crowder were honored by Carolinas AGC by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. These awards celebrated their legacy and the impact they left on the Carolinas construction industry.

Their sons, Otis and Bill, Jr., accepted these awards honoring their dads’ legacies. Success and longevity does not come easy, especially in the construction industry. It takes incredible leadership, patience and integrity. O.P. and W.T. embodied these traits and more.

Carolinas AGC’s Berry Jenkins, who served as the NC Highway-Heavy/Government Relations Director for 22 years, remembered them well and talked about his experience with O.P. and W.T.: “I had the privilege of working with both as a young, inexperienced, project engineer with the NC DOT. Despite my inexperience, they always treated me fairly. I was very fortunate to have this opportunity because they helped me to form an opinion about how to work with contractors; one that I still use to this day. That it could be a partnership. That you could disagree, but it could be done in a professional and friendly manner.”

On July 23, 2022, Otis and Bill Crowder were honored with an induction into the Carolinas AGC Hall of Fame. These awards recognized their over 50 years of contributions to the construction industry. Otis and Bill took over leadership of Crowder from their dads in the 1980s, continuing their legacy of being involved and working for the betterment of the construction industry. Although they have very different skills, their collaborative partnership and leadership were keys to Crowder’s success.

Just like their fathers, Otis and Bill care about being quality contractors. But what stands out about these four amazing leaders even more than their company’s tremendous success is how they treated people and how much they truly cared about their employees and their communities. As a result, Crowder has established itself as one of the most well-respected contractors in the Southeast.
