Last week, the second of three new tied arches for the Portal North Bridge project traveled down the Hudson River and beneath the Tappan Zee Bridge—two incredible projects tied by our team's dedication to innovation and excellence. Here's to building the future while celebrating the past! #TraylorDriven #BuildingTheFuture #PortalNorthBridge #TappanZeeBridge Skanska NJ TRANSIT

We wrap up Women In Construction week with this key message from all of us at Traylor Construction Group.   "At Traylor Construction Group, we know that great teams build great things. An inclusive culture—one that welcomes talent from all backgrounds and fosters opportunities for all—strengthens not only our company, but the entire industry. We are committed to ensuring that every individual who joins our team has the opportunity to thrive, contribute, and succeed."   #wicweek #wicweek25 #womeninconstructionweek2025

To be innovative is to thrive—and the quickest way to thrive is to draw from a broad talent pool.    "An inclusive workforce allows for a wider range of perspectives, experiences, and ideas, leading to greater innovation, better problem-solving, and increased creativity. It also broadens our talent pool, helping to address the labor shortage we face as an industry. Our clients, customers, and partners benefit from working with companies that reflect the diversity of the world we live in." – Mike Traylor, Co-CEO, Traylor Construction Group   #wicweek #wicweek25 #womeninconstructionweek2025

Diverse teams are key to project success, driving collaboration and creating better project outcomes. #womeninconstructionweek   "We consistently deliver better solutions for our clients and our business when we have highly collaborative teams working together. The strongest teams are built on a diversity of thought, experience, and skills. When we tap into a wide range of perspectives, we strengthen our ability to solve complex challenges, drive innovation, and add lasting value to our company." – Denny Quinn, CEO, Traylor Industrial Group   #wicweek #wicweek25 #womeninconstructionweek2025

We continue Women in Construction week with thoughts from Chris Traylor, Co-CEO of Traylor Construction Group.   "The construction industry is in a war for talent, and we intend to win that war by offering the very best culture in the industry—one that is Traylor Driven. That means fostering an environment that attracts, supports, and retains the most skilled professionals, including women in every role, from the trades to leadership. Building an inclusive and welcoming workplace isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s smart business. Success in this area will be a key part of our future growth."    #wicweek #wicweek25 #womeninconstructionweek2025

This week we Celebrate Women in Construction (WIC) Week, where we emphasize inclusion across all Traylor Construction Group companies. Each day a member of our Executive Leadership Team reflects on what WIC Week means to them and how it makes us all stronger.   "We recognize the immense value that a gender-diverse workforce brings to our industry. Our leadership and management teams have benefited greatly from diverse perspectives, and we remain committed to fostering an environment where talent thrives—regardless of gender.    We look forward to continuing to promote construction as a rewarding and viable path for women in leadership, ensuring that our industry benefits from the full spectrum of expertise and innovation.” – Jesse Hutton, President and CEO, Ballard Marine Construction   #wicweek #wicweek25 #womeninconstructionweek2025

Closing out #EngineersWeek, our final innovation is the Pier Column Fall Protection Frame. 💡 During a pier cap thru-tube installation, safe access inside the pier columns was a challenge, as there was no existing tie-off point for fall protection. The team needed a solution that ensured worker safety while allowing efficient access. Using onsite materials, the team designed and fabricated a fall protection frame with a dedicated tie-off point and a built-in winch system for emergency rescues. Workers could safely transfer from a manlift, descend into the column, and complete their work following confined space entry procedures. This innovative approach enhanced safety, minimized delays, and reduced costs—all while using resources already available on site. #TraylorDriven #InnovationDriven #PrideinWhatWeDo #EWEEK2025 Traylor Bros., Inc.

Our fourth innovation for #EngineersWeek is the recently patented B.U.R.T. – Ballard's Underwater Ring Transporter. 💡 Maintaining underground pipelines is a challenge, as repairs traditionally require system shutdowns, costly excavation, and major disruptions. B.U.R.T. eliminates these issues by transporting and installing pipe liners inside active pipelines, using hydraulic-powered arms and precision control. This keeps water systems operational while extending the life of critical infrastructure. The system allows for real-time adjustments, ensuring proper placement and alignment of pipe segments.  By keeping repairs efficient and minimizing water loss, B.U.R.T. is a sustainable solution for maintaining aging infrastructure. #TraylorDriven #InnovationDriven #PrideinWhatWeDo #EWEEK2025 Ballard Marine Construction Innovated and Patented By: Matt Short, Matthew Greger, Arild Ollestad, Shawn Drobny, P.E., Jeff Spoerl, Tony Raphael, P.E., Jimmy Johnson, Mario Rivas, Chris Bauer, Jesse Hutton, Lewis Rounds, P.E., John Schue, Jr., DBIA, Shea Altadonna, Caleb Stanley, Jayme Newbigging, George Williamson
