SPECIAL SECTION: WALHALLA HIGH SCHOOL

D

uring the month of May, Trehel Corporation completed work on the new $47.8 million Walhalla High School in Walhalla, SC. This milestone project for the firm was the largest project ever completed during our 33-year history. Not only was the project completed ahead of schedule, but it was also significantly under budget as well.

The main building is 260,000 square-feet and will accommodate up to 1,300 students. The facility contains 6,169 cubic yards of concrete, 366,209 concrete blocks, 173,000 bricks and 1,146 tons of steel.

An interesting fact, Trehel team members self-preformed all of the concrete work associated with the main school building and surrounding areas.

The scope of work also included construction of a 4,168-seat football stadium and multiple support

buildings for both spring and winter sports. Amenities for these facilities include; coach’s offices, locker rooms, restroom facilities, concessions, baseball & softball fields, football and soccer practice fields, track & field event venues and tennis courts.

Trehel served as the Construction Manager for the project and handled construction administration, scheduling, and procurement of all materials, systems, and subcontractor selection. McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture of Greenville, SC provided architectural design services.

Congratulations to all team members and additional Trehel support staff involved with this milestone project! It has been an incredible journey from site work to completion. We hope the students at Walhalla enjoy the new facilities, and the school will

serve many future generations of Oconee County.

Clemson multi-family projects completed

W

hile Clemson students were enjoying their summer by the lake or relaxing at the beach, the Trehel team was hard at work completing three new multi-family student housing projects. Each of these projects had expedited production schedules with strict deadlines.

The multi-story structure features wood-framed construction with decorative vinyl siding and accents. Site work included retaining wall, sidewalks and parking. Adam Owens served as Project Manager, and Donnie Phaneuf was the Project Superintendent.

Pineherst is a new student housing project consisting of a 10-unit townhouse and two separate apartment buildings totaling 49,660 square-feet. Features of each structure include wood-framed construction with shaker vinyl siding and timber accents. Site work for the complex included an underground stormwater management system along with sidewalks and landscaping. John Cox served as Project Manager

Townhomes at the Pier

Strickland museum nears public opening

E

arlier this summer Trehel completed work on the Bertha Lee Strickland Cultural Museum in Seneca, SC. The project was designed to commemorate local black history and culture; the scope included historical restoration of existing early 1900’s period home on site and reconstruction of adjacent structure similar in size and appearance.

The wide lawn area between the two homes was transformed into a common

patio space by matching the finish floor levels of both structures. The patio was completed with ADA access and modern restroom facilities, creating a welcoming environment for all visitors.

RSCT architecture + design of Clemson, SC provided architectural design services for the project.

Congratulations to Bryan Yoder, Project Manager and James Moore, Project Superintendent for another successful project together as a team.

From the President Dear Trehel Family, I wanted to write a quick note to state a few things that have happened over the last several months. I can’t express how proud I am of our team and things that have been accomplished in the field and the office. We completed our largest project ever at Walhalla High School. That group of people pulled off something that has not typically happened in high school construction. It finished early, is a showcase for the Oconee School District, and we are actually going to be able to give them some money back because of how efficient the project was executed. We had very difficult schedules on two other school projects for Oconee, and both were ready on the first day of school. We completed a very compressed project at Blue Ridge Electric and did so with excellence. We completed several churches in areas we don’t typically work, and I have received compliments on them from all over the state. We completed three multi-family student housing projects in the least amount of time we have ever had before. I could go on, and on…but the bottom line is, we pulled together, held to our core values, and provided for our clients. Each person involved took ownership and the clients recognized that. I simply want to thank you and offer congratulations.

Our move to Greenville has been very fruitful, and we have been blessed to pick up some high-profile projects because of it.

As you know, our growth will be intentional and steady. We have developed new systems, hired some new key individuals both in the office and in the field, as well as made several promotions.

The future appears to be very bright. This move to Greenville has

Trehel welcomes new team members Anna Brown has joined Trehel as an Accounting and Marketing Special Projects Assistant. Anna and her husband, Jordan, relocated to Greenville from Augusta, GA, where she worked in program development, database management, and communications.

helped with communication, and morale because we can communicate more effectively and not depend on electronic communications alone as we did when we were so spread out. We have invested in management training, and we are harvesting the fruit from that as well.

You will be receiving a letter from me soon inviting small groups of you to have a Friday breakfast with me. It should be fun.

I pray for each of you daily, and just know each one of you play a vital role in Trehel’s continued success.

As always, a quote for you to ponder (from Alice in Wonderland): “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?’

‘That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat. ‘I don’t much care where -’ said Alice.

‘Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat. ‘- so long as I get SOMEWHERE,’ Alice added as an explanation.

‘Oh, you’re sure to do that,’ said the Cat, ‘if you only walk long enough.”

Brian Friddle joined the team as a Project Superintendent. He has more than 30 years of experience in commercial, multi-family and residential construction.

Recently he worked for C&G Builders as a project estimator.

Employee Spotlight Everyone knows Trehel has some of the most talented folks in the industry.

Sometimes we are even astonished to learn of the diversity and depth of our talent pool.

As an example, recently we were a little shocked to discover that Tim Murphy, Vice President, and Project Manager not only builds great buildings but, was once the lead singer for Vessel a Christian rock band!

Guess there is only one thing left to say, rock on Tim! And we love the hair and stache.
