Reaching new heights!

Last week, our Jacksonville International Airport (JIA) Concourse B team celebrated a major milestone: topping out the $220 million expansion project. After placing over 600 piles and removing approximately 15,000 cubic yards of pavement, the team has now completed the structural shell of this six-gate, three-level facility. This moment represents over 300,000 hours of dedicated work from our team and trade partners over the past 17 months. The 186,733-square-foot Concourse B will serve American Airlines with six new gates, bringing more flights, new routes and enhanced amenities to travelers throughout Northeast Florida. To our project team, design partners at RS&H and Jacobs Solutions Inc. , and every trade partner who made this possible—thank you for your relentless commitment to safety and quality. We're proud to build infrastructure that connects Jacksonville to the world!

Electrifying a 160-year-old railway is no easy feat

The Caltrain Electrification project was a paragon of design, engineering and coordination as our teammates and partners worked for more than seven years to replace aging, diesel-powered commuter trains with a modern, sustainable electric fleet. On a project that sits at the convergence of electrical, operational, environmental and public interface risks, our teams were vigilant about recognizing and mitigating hazards at all times. Despite the scale and duration of the project, the team's diligent commitment to Zero Harm led to zero fatalities and an impressively low lost-time incident rate, earning a nomination from the Associated General Contractors of California for the Safety on a High Hazard Project Award.

Throughout the 52-mile corridor the team electrified 104 miles of railway track.

The team designed and constructed two traction power substations, one switching station, seven paralleling substations and 28 wayside power cabinets.

 

 

 

Balfour Beatty Recognizes Live Traffic as Fifth Fatal Risk in Construction

To lead the industry and make our work zones safer, Balfour Beatty has launched a new initiative to recognize live traffic as a fifth fatal risk in construction. This expands beyond OSHA's long-established and well-entrenched Fatal/Focus Four hazards in our industry. Balfour Beatty’s initiative acknowledges the uniquely deadly and debilitating hazards posed by vehicles traveling through work zones and underscores our commitment to eliminating live traffic risks to our workforce and the public. Watch our teammates describe their raw and emotional experiences working in and around live traffic and join our efforts to eliminate live traffic risks so everyone goes home safely each day.
