The photos from Washington, D.C. tell the story of mastery in action. Foundation Steel's double victory at the 2023 IMPACT Project of the Year awards—capturing both the Bridge/Structural and Metal Building categories—wasn't just about recognition. It was about proving what happens when strategic partnerships meet uncompromising craftsmanship across our 200+ ironworker workforce.
Two Victories, One Message: Excellence Drives Everything
Bridge/Structural Category Winner: City of Bowling Green Administrative Services Building
A masterclass in preservation meets innovation—transforming a historic post office into a modern 32,000-square-foot administrative hub while honoring Bowling Green's architectural heritage.
Metal Building Category Winner: ALBAT Training & Lab Building
Complex execution delivered under pressure—building a cutting-edge 19-acre training facility that will develop 1,700 apprentices annually, starting construction without complete drawings and delivering flawless results.
Both projects showcase Foundation Steel's signature approach: taking on complexity, delivering precision, and exceeding expectations while maintaining our industry-leading 0.71 EMR safety rating.
Strategic Partnerships That Amplify Success
The evening showcased the power of collaborative excellence. Sharing this milestone with our key partners reinforced why Foundation Steel consistently delivers projects that exceed expectations:
Mosser Construction brought their project management mastery through:
- Mary-Margaret Boda, Project Manager
- Matt Otermat, Director of Estimating
J.L. Kuck General Contractors demonstrated leadership excellence with:
- Todd Kuck, President
- Niki Kuck, Secretary/Treasurer
These partnerships aren't just business relationships—they're strategic alliances that multiply our collective impact on every project we touch.
The Foundation Steel Advantage: Scale Meets Precision
With over 200 skilled ironworkers and thousands of manhours contributed annually, Foundation Steel operates at the intersection of large-scale capability and boutique-level attention to detail. Whether it's battery plants, high-rise residential, or industrial facilities, our workforce delivers the same uncompromising standards that earned us this double IMPACT recognition.
As VP Danny Dymarkowski noted at the ceremony: "These awards truly belong to the men and women who are building America." That's the Foundation Steel difference—we don't just manage projects, we empower the craftspeople who make excellence possible.
This IMPACT double victory isn't just an honor—it's momentum. It's proof that when you combine union expertise with strategic execution, you create something powerful: projects that don't just meet expectations, they redefine what's possible in structural steel and metal building construction.
