Every morning, travelers on Interstate 95 in central Maryland witness the sunrise behind the silhouette of the Baltimore skyline. One iconic feature of this landscape is the massive exhaust stack featuring a bold-lettered “Baltimore” written down the side. It’s a landmark for residents and commuters alike, and over the past year, the city’s skyline has been looking a little different. The luffing jib of a Cianbro Manitowoc 16K now casts its silhouette next to the “Baltimore Smoke Stack” in the morning light over the city. That machine and the Cianbro team on site are gearing up to perform the last of three major overhauls as part of a larger upgrade project at the WIN Waste Wheelabrator Baltimore facility.

When Cianbro began work on Maine Central Institute’s Founders Hall renovation, the team understood the balance necessary to create a modern education space for future generations while maintaining the integrity of the historic building. On March 22, Maine Preservation awarded the project with the prestigious 2023 Honor Award.

On April 22, 2022, as the clock counted down to 7 p.m., a sense of anticipation was palpable among the team on the Veranda Street Bridge replacement project in Portland, Maine. Their task over the next two and a half days was to close down one of the busiest stretches of road in Maine, demolish the existing structure along Interstate 295, and install the new bridge using remote-controlled self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs). This would be the first time this method of accelerated bridge construction was used in the state of Maine.

Cianbro’s growth throughout our more than 70-year history could be best described as deliberate and thoughtful. Since our beginnings, our team has found ways to better serve clients by diversifying our offerings while expanding our geographical footprint.
