As a company, CH + N SITE Construction has learned that the wider its capabilities, and the more it is able to do, the more problems it can solve for its customers. Amongst its many offerings, CH+N SITE Construction pro- vides full-service site development and construction ser- vices. This means that the company can accept a job and “take care of it all’. As a result of having such a high level of in-house skill, the company unsurprisingly has a large cus- tomer base to work with. Evidently, this is something it revels in. As Eshelman mentions at the beginning of our interview, CH+N SITE Construction’s goal is to solve problems for its customers as easily and as cost-effective as possible. “We want the jobs that no one else wants.” The CH+N SITE Construction promise is not, however, merely lip service. The company has been recognized as being the fourth largest site-work business in its local region.

GIVE US A CALL! 301-874-3077Ԋ • 5304 KINGS COURT, FREDERICK, MD 21703 • ROCHEBROTHERS.COM comparing the size of CH+N SITE Construction’s team, relative to its volume of work, the evidence is clear. This is a company that maximizes its capabilities and brings the most to its customers. For their team, the goals are evident; projects are always more than just accomplishing the job at hand. For CH+N SITE Construction, equal importance is given to keeping people safe, completing the job on time, and always getting the work done right. Managing costs are a major part of keeping the business efficient as well, and as Eshelman assures me, the goal is to be the first customer’s choice and best value, not the low-cost provider. For CH+N SITE Construction it is about cost-efficiency for both client and company, which is positively reflected in the statistic that ninety percent of its business is from repeat customers. Being positively represented locally is also very important to CH+N SITE Construction, which is why it is part of the Asso- ciated Builders and Contractors Keystone in its locality. The ABC Keystone offers local businesses training and teaching opportunities, as well as the option to network with other businesses in the same industry. The safety committee pro- gram offered by ABC Keystone is also a highly valued benefit. The ABC Keystone will often speak for private companies like CH+N SITE Construction, representing it at a national level on the company’s behalf. CH+N SITE Construction prides itself in being a part of something so beneficial. One project that the company is particularly proud of is its work on the Messick’s warehouse and store. With 100,000 cy of dirt to move, lots of rock to be drilled and shot, a very aggressive schedule, and starting the job in the dead of winter, the company was given lots of problems to solve. The company worked closely with the owner and General Contractor to come up with cost effective solutions that kept the job on schedule through the tough winter months. For Eshelman, the project showcased the problem-solving skills that are inherent in the company. “One solution was lime sta- bilization. This allowed it to place and compact fill that would have otherwise been too wet to support the future building and infrastructure. Another was bringing in our crushers to turn the oversized blasted rock into stone that could be used for access roads and staging areas to keep the job and all the other subcontractors out of the mud through the winter. Our team showed up every day and delivered results. Making sure that things happened because of them, not to them.” The Messick’s project was a success for all involved. 11The knock-on effect of this work was that, through its excellent reputation, an opportunity arose “at a project right next door.” Amazon purchased an existing warehouse and CH+N SITE Construction was asked to bid the sitework package to the GC managing the job for them. The project included the addition of 29,000 sy of paving. A large amount of storm sewer and water system upgrades. Again, this project presented its fair share of problems to solve such as rock removal, an aggres- sive schedule, and existing utility conflicts not shown on the plans. According to Eshelman, the project is an example of how CH+N SITE Construction can use its deep knowledge and experience to lower costs for its clients. “We worked closely with the general contractor and engineer to come up with cost effective solutions which avoided costly relocation of the exist- ing utilities, we used our crushers to size the oversized rock and create subbase for the new paving. Avoiding hauling the unusable material off site. All while doing whatever it took to deliver on time and keep our people safe.” CH+N SITE Construction is proud of is its work and the ser- vices it offers to the local market. In particular, the company has excelled in recent time working on new schools, building new athletic fields, and working on local housing develop- ments. In the past few years housing development in CH+N 12C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S www.GroffTractor.com CH+N SITE CONSTRUCTION FOR YOUR GROWTH & SUCCESS YOUR BUSINESS & SUPPORT & C O N G R A TUL A T IO N S SITE Construction’s market has been growing exponentially and so there is an influx of work in the area. By way of example, Eshelman points to the ARCONA project, which the company has been working on since 2014. Because it has consistently delivered its promise, the company has worked its way into phase eight of the project. CH+N SITE Construc- tion has guaranteed itself repeat customers and continued work on large scale projects because they pride themselves on delivering every time. It also continues to innovate, not only in terms of its planning but also its technologies. In CH+N SITE Construction’s line of business, technologies like GPS are integral as they contribute to productivity and efficiency, but Eshelman also assures me that they are able to deliver even when the technology doesn’t or isn’t able perform, ‘never forgetting where we came from, having an educated, experienced, and trained team is the key to delivering consistently no matter what problem is thrown at us’. This adaptability ensures that CH+N SITE Construction can guarantee that its team will get the work done on time. Recently, CH+N SITE Construction has given more attention to the materials it uses on site. This commitment stems from the company’s inherent problem-solving ethos. It was finding that tons of rock and excess topsoil were being uprooted on its projects. In a display of critical thinking and problem-solv- ing, CH+N SITE Construction now recycles these materials to use on site or for other projects it has, reducing waste, trucking, and materials purchased from quarries. This niche aspect of its work offers an innovative byproduct for its customers; the knowledge that anything unearthed in their projects will not go to waste, but be re-used in another envi- ronmentally friendly context. This kind of problem solving has led to many glowing reviews from CH+N SITE Construction’s customers, many of which are displayed proudly on its website. Positive feedback is invaluable to the team and business. Eshelman says with every job comes new variables, new challenges, and lots of opportunity to tackle and solve them. “For the team on the ground, when they receive recognition for the effort they expand and the problems they solve it is incredibly rewarding.” Looking into the future, CH+N SITE Construction is seeking further growth. Eshelman tells me that growth isn’t all about revenue, it is about providing opportunities for team mem- bers to grow in their careers. “We need to make sure that our staff who show up every day and always give their best can move up financially and in the organization.” For a company that keeps its promise, it is clear that this continued diversity and the ability to solve even more problems is key. As Eshel- man says, “if you’re not growing, you’re dying.” 1314WRITTEN BY CAROLINE EBBS E stablished in 1989, Walton & Company has grown steadily in size and depth of services during the last thirty-plus years. Walton offers mechanical engineering for design-build projects, plumbing and HVAC installation, metal fabrication, and mechanical building service solutions to its cus- tomers. Walton can be part of a project for its entire lifespan from start to finish. 15As a mechanical contractor with its own metal fabrication department, Walton & Company can make the ductwork and custom metal fabrication for its own projects. Walton & Company’s 36,600 sq shop also allows the company to ser- vice stand-alone customers as well as its competitors. From constructing a broad range of customized platforms and curbs to stainless steel HVAC and source capture systems for food processing clients, the company always ensures that customers get quality fabrication with the parts that best fit the task at hand. Another demonstration of Walton’s flexibility is the 24/7 build- ing services that it offers to its clients. The reason for this is simple; problems rarely happen eight to five. Many of Wal- ton’s customers operate 24/7 themselves, especially within the pharmaceutical industry. Walton’s nighttime answering service is specifically designed to cater to these types of clients and can dispatch an employee to assist a client within an hour or two. Walton offers a 4-hour guarantee, however, it’s rare that a call takes that long. This option serves not only to keep Walton & Company diverse, but it demonstrates to its clients that they are Walton’s number one priority. On Walton & Company’s website, the saying ‘Safety at Wal- ton & Company is the responsibility of each and every Walton & Company employee every day’ is displayed proudly. Andy Volovar, President of Walton & Company, says the company shortens that down to ‘Stop, Think, Work Safe,’ a slogan to remind employees that safety comes before anything else, and that to work safely is to work efficiently. Employees are not only encouraged to look out for themselves but for their co-workers as well. With a work environment that at times prioritizes speed over accuracy, it is refreshing to hear that Walton’s employees are given reassurances that safety comes before anything else. “It is safer to stop and reassess, rather than power through at any given moment and run any kind of safety risk,” says Andy Volovar, this serves to protect Walton’s employees as well as foster a sense of concern and well-being within the company. In addition to promoting the safety of its workers, Walton & Company also ensures that opportunities for growth and development are built into the company ethos. To this end, Walton & Company is part of the Associated Builders and Contractors Keystone Chapter, a local chapter of a national association. The association itself advocates for Walton and other contractors as a group for legislative issues in D.C as well as Pennsylvania, in addition to providing training opportunities to its members. This support gives Walton & Company employees the option to continue learning and upgrading skills such as estimation, management, foreman training, and journeyman training. 1621 Garden Lane, Hanover, PA 17331 excelinsulation@embarqmail.com Commercial & Industrial Mechanical Insulation Contractor SPECIALIZING IN: PIPING | DUCT | EQUIPMENT INSULATION (717)633-6300 Warehouse Design Specialists Links to ABC Keystone Chapter assist the company in many ways but, challenges still remain. One of these is the omni- present labor shortage. Walton & Company has adapted to technological advances over the years and is using these skills to encourage younger generations to consider a career in the trades. On its website, there is a link to Walton’s social media channels which is in place to reach the new generation raised in the social media world. Since Walton’s burgeoning future workforce will come from that generation it’s import- ant for the company to have visibility on the social platforms that young people frequent. With an ever-changing market and unprecedented market conditions in a post-pandemic world, Walton’s endeavors to stay thriving go beyond its social media presence. Walton’s ability to offer ‘a little bit of everything’ is what Mr. Volovar owes Walton’s success to. From mechanical fit-out of ware- houses, office buildings, food processing, and custom 17Congratulations Walton & Company on your well-deserved success. YORK.COM stainless-steel work; the list is endless. Volovar also stated that a big part of our ability to ride out the ups and downs of the economy is because forty percent of the company’s rev- enue comes from its service and preventative maintenance department. Walton & Company's competitive edge is its ability to return to a project and maintain the high standard to which it was originally completed, from maintenance to replacements, to updates. A recent Walton project that speaks to this competitive edge was a large distribution hub for a national parcel delivery company in Middletown, Pennsylvania. It began for Walton & Company as a design-build project, and then became a total design-build and construction project including the HVAC system and plumbing. The complete design for the 775,000 square foot facility was no minor undertaking for Walton, becoming its largest single contract at eight million dollars. Similarly, Walton worked on another local project, just fifteen miles away, for a food processor that needed its process- ing equipment moved from New Jersey to Lancaster, near Walton’s base of operations. For Walton, this project entailed nine months of disconnecting the equipment for transit, then setting it back in the new location, all the while configuring it and making the new set-up in Lancaster County as efficient as possible for the food processor. For Walton employees, education is both encouraged and supplied. For those on board, there is an option to pursue the apprenticeship programs offered, company-paid, which affords its staff opportunities to upskill in the likes of plumb- “Walton & Company's competitive edge is its ability to return to a project and maintain the high standard to which it was originally completed, from maintenance to replacements, to updates.” 18ing or HVAC. It entails classroom training as well as field experience, all while remaining at Walton & Company. It greatly benefits Walton’s employees to be able to work, learn and earn money simultaneously, which fosters a growing opportunity for its employees and the company. In the next few years, Walton & Company’s goals are to continue expanding. The company identifies its automation and digital control business as a market with huge potential for growth. With a growing list of products, services, and skills that it can offer its clients, it is of no surprise that the company is seeking to develop its range further. With a growing history of excellence and diversity, you wouldn’t bet against Walton & Company making a success of anything it puts its hand to. 19Next >
