Breaking Ground on Lankford Corners
We are thrilled to announce the groundbreaking of Lankford Corners, an exciting new event center located in the heart of Cedartown, GA. This project represents a significant milestone for our community, combining state-of-the-art design with a deep respect for local heritage.
Fostering the Future
At Duffey Southeast, we're dedicated to building a brighter future by investing in the next generation of construction professionals. Our commitment was on full display at the 2023 Northwest Georgia Skills Competition held in Rome, Georgia. This event provided a platform for high school students to showcase and enhance their skills in various trades, offering them a pathway to success right out of school.
Precision And Exceeding Expectations Is Our Goal
Duffey Southeast was recently selected by a Fortune 100 company to complete a new modular datacenter project at an existing telecommunications site in central Florida. Comprised of sections, or “pods”, the modular datacenter approach is advantageous to some owners who want to lessen the duration of onsite construction activities, reduce the cost of conventional building construction, and receive a product that could potentially be relocated to an alternate location in the future.
Repeat clients have been at the heart of our business since 1945
The Toyota Material Handling South Fulton location is a state-of-the-art facility designed and built to merge several existing facilities to provide the company with streamlined processes and fiscally responsible methods of operation. Many project and supply chain obstacles were overcome during this project which required the determination, knowledge, and skill of both our field and office operations teams. Through communication, strategic planning and the use of Lean principles, the project delivery was a success, satisfying the needs and goals of our repeat client.
Putting Their Skills to the Test
In the Electrical challenge of the AGC Skills Challenge, students were given blueprints of electrical wiring and how to install boxes and locate wires. They started at the panel and wired to switches, GFI’s and light fixtures. They were watched by judges the entire time while also receiving tips and tricks from them. The students were judged on use of tools, safety, assembly according to plans, national electrical code, locations of items, functional test, and percent complete.
The Need to Think ‘Outside of the Box’ for Workforce Development
Partnering together, Duffey Southeast and The Associated General Contractors of Georgia hosted construction students from 14-area high schools for the Northwest Georgia Workforce Development Alliance Skills Challenge. The event competitions were held Nov. 1, at the Polk County College and Career Academy, in our hometown of Cedartown, Georgia. The event was one of seven regional event competitions held throughout the state.
Satellite Antenna Pads As Solid as Rock
The Details Matter at Duffey Southeast. This project presented a lot of earth work and concrete work to be performed. It was a combined effort from Duffey and our trade partners in order to achieve a successful end result for a high value telecommunications client.
Pouring This Much Concrete Must Be Done with Care and Attention
The Details Matter at Duffey Southeast. Duffey Southeast was on site at this Satellite Antenna Testing Facility preparing for concrete placement for satellite antenna foundations. Read about our design choices here.
Before We Pour, We Start with Engineering
Read about our approach in designing for antenna foundations at a Satellite Antenna Testing Facility. The main infrastructure for this Satellite Antenna Testing Facility encompassed two satellite foundations comprised of heavy steel and concrete infrastructure. The other main component of the functionality of this site was the medium voltage electrical package delivered to the new test pads.
