Track Work Completed in Odessa, Texas

Posted by & filed under Projects, Safety.

Kelly-Hill Company just completed the balance of the track construction for a UPRR transload facility in Odessa, Texas. We have been working on this project over the past nine months. The final project encompassed more than 30,000 track feet of new construction on both wood and steel ties, along with the construction and installation of 12 various sized turnouts. We recorded a perfect safety record on this project and completed all the milestones ahead of expectations. Alberto Soto was our primary foreman on the project, leading the Kelly-Hill gangs and ensuring the project was executed in a timely, efficient and safe manner.

 

These types of projects are in our “sweet spot.” We really enjoy working in various parts of the Midwest and Southwest on similar projects.

 

Here are a few pictures from the project:

Honored With Safety Awards

Posted by & filed under Awards, Safety.

Tim Rock, COO, Kelly-Hill 3-6-15.JPGThis month, we were honored with our second safety award in 2015. We pride ourselves on our commitment to safety and these awards are a testament to that. In January, we received the Platinum Level 2014 Contractor Safety Award by the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association. This month, we were awarded this year’s First Place in the Subcontractor Division award by the Builder’s Association Safety Excellence Program.

Safety is extremely important to us. We do many things to ensure we’re implementing tried and true safety practices, as well as updates to those practices. There are dedicated training sessions, daily safety meetings, tool box talks; this has fostered long-term pride our employees take in embracing safe practices in everything we do. We’re excited to be recognized as an organization for our safety practices, which is only possible with our employees’ commitment to safety.
