TOLM receives ABC Excellence in Construction Awards for public works project.
MORRILTON, AR, March 12, 2021 – Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Arkansas announced that TOLM Group’s work on the Delta Heritage Trail project in 2020 has earned the company first place in the Public Works / Environment over $5MM category of ABC’s Excellence in Construction awards competition. TOLM Group will be recognized during a virtual ‘Excellence in Construction’ celebration in April.
Project Manager John Beck and Superintendent Craig Chambers will accept the award for the project. TOLM Group was the general contractor completing a 9.4-mile section of the Delta Heritage Trail development in Southeast Arkansas for the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. The project was located between Rohwer and Watson, Arkansas and included the construction of two trailheads– grading, drainage, asphalt parking areas and concrete sidewalks and picnic areas, restroom facilities and pavilion; bike and walking trails; and removal of six railroad timber bridges that we replaced with steel truss and concrete bridges.
“ABC congratulates TOLM Group for their outstanding work on the Delta Heritage Trail project,” said Bill Roachell, ABC Arkansas President. “This project is a true example of exceptional craftsmanship and professionalism that defines merit shop construction. It is an honor for the association to recognize this project with our top construction excellence award.”
TOLM President Brian Rohlman, P.E. said, “We are extremely honored to be recognized by ABC Arkansas for our work on this project. Our roots are in civil construction and although our company has diversified across multiple divisions in recent years, we remain proud of that foundation our success has been built upon. It’s also an honor to have worked on such a high profile project for the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism.”
