The Fluor team is dedicated to giving back to the community where we live and work by being good construction neighbors and making a positive impact in the Boone County community. Here are a few ways our team has given time, treasure and talent in recent months.
“Together, Eli Lilly and Company, Fluor and our contractors are committed to keeping our people and the community safe,” said Dennis Earman, Fluor’s Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) director for the Lebanon Project. “Safety is built into everything we do from design and planning to programs and day-to-day operations. We work hard to create a strong safety culture.”
At 10:43 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 20, the LP1 Project team officially placed the first piece of steel for one of the site’s buildings. Each of the steel columns erected is 53 feet tall and weighs 8,000 pounds.
The Lilly/Fluor Construction Team along with Poindexter Excavating, Berkel and other site contractors purchased more than 270 Christmas gifts and collected an additional $1,400 for Lebanon students ages 5–16 years. The gifts and cash provided for additional gifts were delivered to Hope Community Church’s Christmas Shop on Monday, Dec.4.
There has been significant progress the past few months at the Lebanon Project site. Three buildings are completely framed with steel. Work is underway on these structures to place side panels, windows and roofs, fireproof steel and temporary interior lighting. The efforts will ensure these buildings are weather tight as summer turns to fall and interior work begins during colder weather. This step means project staff will increase as additional skilled craft professionals join the project to perform interior framing, piping and electrical work.
If you’ve driven by the Lebanon Project site, you’ve likely seen large trucks delivering materials, steel being placed or concrete being poured. It’s a fast- moving, dynamic environment with hundreds of workers coming and going to ensure the project is successful.
Our LP1 team members are enjoying getting to know the Lebanon community. Here are a couple of faces you might see out and about around town.
The LP1 Project Team, which includes Lilly, Fluor, and on-site contractors, held a blood drive on July 24 with the support of Versiti. The effort was even more successful than the blood drive held in May. The drive collected 37 units of blood which is enough to save 51 Indiana lives. There were 24 first-time donors! The LP1 Project Team will continue to host blood drives as the staff increases.
