On Tuesday, Feb. 4, Fluor employees C.J. Salvadore and Kyle McGarrity joined Harney Elementary robotics teams in Lebanon, Indiana to strategize, design and test robots for an upcoming regional robotics competition.
Fluor representatives Todd Dando and Jeff Wagner joined Joe Lapage to share recent construction updates and community relations activities. Listen to the Podcast here.
At Fluor, employees are empowered and encouraged to volunteer and make a difference. In communities around the world, our employees create lasting value through nonprofit engagement, legacy projects and employee giving and volunteerism. Meet two of our many LP1 employees who are giving back locally.
Spring 2025 will mark two years since the Lebanon Project team broke ground to build Eli Lilly and Company’s largest manufacturing facility in the world. Over the last 24 months, the team has also been building critical relationships focused on supporting the local community that many staff now call home.
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.
