ABC Selects Durr for
Multiple Awards
On November 2nd, the New Orleans Bayou Chapter held its Excellence in Construction (EIC) Awards Program at the Chateau Country Club in Kenner.
The awards program is designed to recognize the “best of the best” in the construction industry. These awards are a testament to the quality and spirit of merit shop construction and proof that merit shop contractors are leading the way in building America. ABC celebrated twenty-one Industry Awards and fourteen STEP Awards.
Durr Heavy Construction, LLC was recognition in two categories at this year’s ceremony: safety and excellence. For the eighth year in a row, Durr was awarded the prestige Platinum STEP award. Top honors were also bestowed on Durr when it received the Excellence in Construction award for their work with the Katrina Cottage project in Jefferson Parish.
“It is a wonderful feeling to have the hard work of your team members recognized by your peers,” said Freddy Yoder, president of Durr Heavy Construction, on receiving the awards.
“We at Durr take a lot of pride in the fact that safety isn’t just a word we toss around but something we believe a core foundation in which to work by,” said Yoder.
