Garney lands first project in California

JANUARY 2015 — Operations are full-speed ahead in California with the recent award of Garney’s first project in the Golden State. In November, Garney announced its new office location in Livermore, California, roughly 45 miles east of San Francisco.

The project for Lennar Homes of California, Inc., will provide nearly 20,000 linear feet of water and sewer lines for a 175-lot subdivision. Garney will also be responsible for the installation of 5,820 linear feet of storm drains. This project is being led by Operations Manager, Kevin Downs, who came onboard with Garney following the development of this regional office. Kevin brings 15 years of experience in the water/wastewater industry. He has worked in both the private sector with wet utilities for developers as well as with municipal entities on large diameter pipeline installations, pump stations and reservoir holding tanks.

The Livermore office is managed by Bill E. Williams, who brings three decades of experience constructing water projects in California. Bill will be pivotal in Garney’s new venture in the northern California market which is operating as Garney Pacific, Inc. Pam Littlejohn is serving as Project Coordinator for the Livermore office and brings several years of experience in the industry.

“Our goal for 2015 is to get field personnel and crews established in the market and all on a firm foot,” said Williams. “We intend to introduce the Garney goals and philosophies into a market that we hope will be eager to embrace a contractor with Garney’s history of leadership and integrity.”
