HOLCIM (US), INC.

Bloomsdale Excavating was the successful bidder of a design/build project for the largest cement
plant in the Northern Hemisphere — a project that would become known as Holcim (US), Inc.
It would take a team to perform a project of this scale and complexity, and Team BE proved to be
the right contractor for the job. This project has not only been completed on time, in budget and
on schedule, but it also was the project that led to a great honor for Bloomsdale Excavating.
Because of excellence demonstrated in safety standards on the jobsite, Bloomsdale Excavating
formed a partnership with MSHA – the first and only in the United States.

"It was a pleasure working with a subcontractor that wanted to complete the work as fast as I did. A concern of mine from the beginning was the coordination between the grading and the wall construction. Due to the small size of the development and the boulder walls being an integral part in the final grading this could have presented a problem. Led in the field by Jerry, the Bloomsdale grading crew worked well with our wall contractor to coordinate the week’s activities by providing creative solutions to keep everyone moving. McBride and I look forward to working with you in the future."
