The Oil, Gas & Chemical (OG&C) team is proud to announce that the Manning LNG Facility construction project is the recipient of an Engineering News Record (ENR) Mid-Atlantic “Best Project” Award in the Energy/Industrial category.

The original plan was to celebrate the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge Replacement team’s remarkable safety performance when the Cianbro safety hours tally reached 900 work days and 400,000 hours without an OSHA recordable injury. By the time the hard working Cianbro team was able to take a brief time-out for a celebration, they had racked up an additional two months’ worth of safe work days. So, on June 2nd, the team settled down to a celebratory lobster bake commemorating 960 work days and 440,000 work hours without an OSHA recordable injury.

It was another successful competition for Cianbro and Starcon as team members matched skills against some of the best up-and-coming craftspeople in the nation.

Nearly four years after Cianbro completed a landmark project in Connecticut, the company is still winning awards for the achievement. 

There is a lot of big, heavy work going on at the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge Replacement Project on the Piscataqua River between Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire – one massive new bridge is under construction while a massive old adjacent bridge is being torn down at the same time. The Cianbro team is on schedule with crane picks that are each more than 100 tons of precast concrete segments coming off the water to form the lift towers of the new bridge. Work is also proceeding smoothly on erecting the vehicle bridge segments and the railroad bridge. It’s no wonder that Cianbro Senior Project Manager Kaven Philbrook calls the team’s latest safety milestone, “a heck of an achievement, considering where we are in the project.”

On October 3rd, 2016, Senator Susan Collins and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx visited the jobsite of the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge which spans the Piscataqua River between Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The project is unique and important, not only for the states of Maine and New Hampshire, but also for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The shipyard performs major repairs on nuclear powered submarines and is a strategic part of the Navy’s organization. The Sarah Long Bridge carries the rail connection between the shipyard and the rest of the nation, and it is important that the rail line is operational and is supporting the needs of the shipyard.

After 573 days on the job, Cianbro team members at the Sarah Long Bridge project have surpassed 200,000 hours without a recordable injury.

The Oil & Gas Awards is a relatively new addition to the Oil & Gas industry that is supported by an ever increasing premiere group of owners, engineers, contractors, and manufacturers doing business in the Oil and Gas market.

Cianbro’s efforts on behalf of creating educational opportunities in New England have received the prestigious recognition of the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE).  The company was honored with an annual “Business Contribution to Higher Education” award in front of an audience of 400 educators, lawmakers, business people and philanthropists at the NEBHE’s annual Awards Program in Boston on March 4th.
