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

"An inclusive workforce allows for a wider range of perspectives, experiences, and ideas, leading to greater innovation, better problem-solving, and increased creativity.

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

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
