as an educational resource on important facets of the construction industry:Tilt-up
Construction - Have you ever driven past a construction site and seen a construction
company's massive cranes lifting huge panels of concrete in the air? Have you
watched with amazement as a new commercial building seems to spring into place,
almost overnight? What you have witnessed is tilt-up construction, an innovative
method employed by construction companies for building commercial / industrial
structures with amazing speed, safety, and cost benefits. Learn more about this
dynamic approach to building from one of the top tilt-up construction companies
in Texas. LEED,
USGBC and Green Building - The LEED rating system, established by the US Green
Building Council, is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction
and operation of high performance green buildings, providing building owners and
operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their
buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability
by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health:
sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection
and indoor environmental quality. Bob Moore Construction, a Platinum Member of
the USGBC North Texas Chapter, provides detailed information about green building
and LEED in this section of Construction Company.com. Construction
Safety - One of the most important concerns a construction company must control
is safety. Clearly, the federal government considers construction safety a significant
concern. In 2006, more than 59% of all federal inspections performed by the Occupational
Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) nationwide, 22,891 inspections in all,
took place in the construction sector. OSHA conducted an additional 27,672 state
inspections at construction jobsites. Bob Moore Construction's safety program
is so successful that the company has been accepted as a accepted as a member
of the OSHA Local Partnership program, only the fifth general contractors in north
and east Texas to earn this recognition, and its safety director was named Safety
Director of the Year. In this section of Construction Company.com, Bob
Moore Construction explains the components of a successful construction safety
program. Construction
Organizations - Construction companies are supported by a group of influential
trade organizations. These organizations include the Association of General Contractors
of America (AGC), American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the Tilt-up Concrete Association
(TCA). Bob Moore Construction employees serve in leadership roles for the AGC,
ACI and TCA and on some of the most prestigious advisory comittees in the industry.
