On Thursday, November 10, 2022, Quandel was presented with three awards at the 33rd Annual ABC Keystone Excellence in Construction.
- 2022 Excellence in Construction Safety: When it comes to safety, we never just “talk the talk.” The safety of our team, trade partners, clients, and community at large are always our priority. A special thank you to our corporate safety director, Don Tracy, for his diligence in ensuring that we never waiver in our mission. Safety: First, Last, Always!
- 2022 Excellence Award (industrial over $25M): Quandel worked with PFNonwovens as a construction manager to construct a new, 170,562-square-foot, $27-million, 9th and 10th production line at PFNonwovens’ Hazelton area facility. The new lines allow the company to make revolutionary, cottony-soft hygiene products for the North American market. Additionally, the new line produces biosourced and other specialty products and allow the company to expand its production of medical fabrics. The project included challenging sitework work in order to install the necessary concrete foundations for the pre-engineered metal buildings. These buildings house two extremely large overhead cranes and equipment to expand their on-site production.
- 2022 Merit Award (industrial $10-25M): Martin Guitar engaged with Quandel to lead the effort to design and execute the construction of their new distribution facility. The key to the success of this new warehouse building was creating design continuity between the new facility and the historic headquarters facility. Form-liners were utilized to create a brick like surface pattern located at the main entrance of the new facility. Painted in a brick-red color along with signage and lighting, this new warehouse facility, evokes a historic feel, and successfully connects the brand image established by the headquarters facility.
For 140 years, Quandel has built our business on quality work, safe and well-managed construction sites, and ethical business practices. We strive to earn our solid reputation every day through our interactions with our clients, trade partners, community, and each other. Thank you to ABC Keystone for recognizing our excellence in construction.
