Michael Baker International’s Post

As I reflect on my decade-long journey with Stella May Contracting, Inc., I'm struck by the delicate balance we've maintained between honoring our fundamentals and embracing the future. In an industry as foundational as heavy civil construction, it's easy to stick to what's tried and true, yet as we all know true excellence comes from blending time-tested practices with cutting-edge innovations. Here's what this looks like for us ⏩ We've grown to over 275 employees, each bringing unique skills and perspectives. Our commitment to their growth, diversity and education is expanding as well. We've ventured into new territories, like our recent foray into electric overhead work. Diversification keeps us agile and relevant. As the largest minority-owned heavy civil construction company in the region and a proud employer through the Civics Works program, we're creating opportunities across Baltimore, Washington, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. While we value traditional skills, we're also integrating new technologies to enhance safety, efficiency, and quality. The key to our success? Remembering that at its core, our business is about people - our team, our clients, and our community. We're not just building infrastructure; we're building futures. As we continue on this path of growth, I'm excited to see how we'll further blend the old with the new, with our mission to "safely serve and shine" at the forefront. I'm excited for new opportunities. #growthmindset #serveandshine

Engineering at its finest…!

Heads up for those in Flemington! GDOT will be activating a new signalized intersection this Wednesday (August 7th) at the intersection of US 84 and Old Sunbury Road in Liberty County. This signal is among the final elements of the Department’s operational improvement project which encompasses the realignment of Old Sunbury Road and Old Hines Road and US 84 turn lanes. This $5.6 million project at Flemington Curve will enhance safety and improve mobility at this busy intersection. **Drivers are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through the area. While it's not expected to be in service for the Wednesday morning commute, the signal should be fully functional by midday.** . . . #attentiondrivers #flemington #cityengineer #roadimprovements #mesackmeansmore #ourteam #communitypartner #infrastructure #buildcommunity #leadership #mesack #engineers #engineering #service #planning #site #development #stormwater #design #engineer #landscape #construction #survey #industrial #contract
