Blue Cord

Blue Cord is proud to announce a major milestone in the Augusta Operating Room Renovations project at the Charlie Norwood VAMC in Downtown Augusta, Georgia. In partnership with Gold Mech and Macs Crane, our team successfully installed a 75-ton air handling unit (AHU) that will serve both existing and newly renovated operating rooms for years to come. This state-of-the-art unit features high-efficiency copper coils, advanced energy-saving technology, and a comprehensive HEPA filtration system to ensure maximum patient safety.   This complex lift was the result of meticulous planning and coordination, requiring the temporary relocation of patients in the VA's SICU wing. Despite weather challenges extending the operation over several days, our team was able to execute the placement of all six components. This installation marks the beginning of critical HVAC renovations in the VA's Surgical Suite, a crucial step in enhancing patient care and meeting modern efficiency standards.   #TeamBlueCord #HealthcareConstruction #ProjectMilestone #PatientSafety #BlueCord #Veterans #Healthcare #SDVOSB 

However you choose to enjoy this long weekend, whether it be with family and friends at a barbeque or soaking in the last days of summer by the pool, let us not forget to give a nod to American workers everywhere. Since being adopted as a national holiday in 1894, Labor Day was a time to give well-earned recognition to every worker across our nation for contributing to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being. Fast-forward 130 years and we remain appreciative to the workforce across all industries for their sacrifices to ensure our way-of-life. May you all have a well-deserved and restful holiday! #LaborDay #WorkingAmerica #BlueCord #Construction #Healthcare #SDVOSB #Veterans

Blue Cord recently gathered at our project site in Murfreesboro for a well-deserved team building lunch. As we move past the halfway mark in our construction schedule, it was the perfect moment to express our gratitude and rally the team to stay safe as we push towards the finish line. We’d like to extend a shoutout to our amazing subcontractors who pitched in with goodies and organized an exciting blind draw for our hardworking tradesmen. Together, we're building more than just structures — we're building a legacy! We are incredibly grateful for our entire team!   #Teamwork #ConstructionLife #BlueCord #SDVOSB #TeamBuilding #Construction #Healthcare

If you've driven past Blue Cord’s Orlando HQ this past week, it will be hard to miss our brand-new flagpole proudly flying the American flag. Perched at the very top is a shiny gold ball. The known functional purpose of this ball is to keep the flag from sliding off the top of the flagpole and, in military flagpoles, the ball often contains a pulley system hidden within to allow for a quick hoist and lowering of the flag. However, the contents of the gold ball in our flagpole stems from a rich military history (or legend, as some say) in the “Tale of the Truck.”    The gold ball on top of the flagpole, also known as the ‘truck,’ contains a razor blade, a match, and a bullet. Why these items? While the exact items vary depending on the story you hear, the telling of the tale is the same – should a military base find themselves being overrun by enemy forces, the contents within the truck (or ball) may be used to defend Old Glory. The razor is to be used to cut down the flag or to tear it into strips, the match is for a dignified destruction of the flag and the bullet is for the final attempt, if necessary, to defend the flag to the death by whatever means possible. In case you were wondering as to the usefulness of a bullet without a gun, legend says that a pistol is often buried at the base of the flagpole or some 50 paces away.   Whatever version of the tale you have heard, we are proud of the message it conveys in the symbolic importance of the American flag and the unrelenting devotion of a soldier defending our country.       #BlueCord #SDVOSB #MilitaryLegends #USA #FlagPole
