2013 EMR is the lowest in company history

Jul 2013

JULY 2013 — Garney’s 2013 preliminary EMR has been issued at 0.53, which is the lowest EMR in our history. An EMR this low is extremely hard to obtain for a company that works in so many states. The more states a company works in, the harder it becomes to drive down the EMR due to the way the NCCI rating formula works. Garney’s ongoing corporate emphasis on safety, spearheaded by Jamie Blystone, Neal Timmons and Ryan Smith, has played a key role in these results. The added focus of the company and our crews on safety has allowed us to lower our accident incident rate, which has a positive impact in helping the company lower its EMR.

Garney receives “Champion of Business” Award

May 2013

MAY 2013 — While many businesses in Kansas City are still floundering from a hard year and a difficult economy, Garney Construction has had one of its best years yet. The Kansas City Business Journal has awarded Garney with the Champions of Business award for the second year in a row.

Garney acquired Encore Construction, in Winter Park, Fla., in late 2012 and picked up three large projects across the country as well. The company’s total gross revenue for 2012 was $494 million, and they acquired $714 million in new projects from 2012.

Garney Construction CEO Mike Heitmann, said the acquisition strengthens Garney’s presence in Florida and expands Garney’s reach to the Carolinas in their east coast region.

The new projects Garney will be working on are in Texas and Colorado. In Midland, Texas, Garney Construction will be working to build a $155 million water pipeline. A new $305 million pipeline is also being built northwest of Dallas. Garney will also work with CH2M Hill to design and build a $254 million water treatment plant in Denver, Colo. that is scheduled to be completed in 2015.

Garney Construction hopes to continue their success in 2014 and beyond.
