2014-2015 CAWV President Daniel B. Flesher Trimble Engineers and Constructors, Inc. Morgantown, WV

2014-2015 CAWV President Dan Flesher, whose father exposed him to construction at an early age, credits his relationships with CAWV members for his long-term success in West Virginia’s construction industry. Some served as his mentors, others he worked

with on projects. Flesher spent his year as CAWV President Dan Flesher pushed the “Hard at Work” license plate campaign head of the state’s contractors association over the 300 mark by purchasing a CAWV plate for his employees’ vehicles, in addition to putting the plate on Trimble Engineers & Constructors’ fleet of promoting the industry and its members. vehicles. The CA 300 plate is on his Corvette.

Flesher graduated from WVU in 1973 with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering. His best job offer upon graduation, he remembered, was with the Ben Tom Corporation as a labor foreman on a project in Florida. He decided it was best to utilize his degree and go to work elsewhere.

Returning to West Virginia played a major part in his decision to take a po- sition with CAWV member firm Alpha Associates, Inc., an architectural and engineering firm in Morgantown that specialized in ski lift operations, work that he continues with today. While at Alpha, he earned a masters degree in civil engineering and received his P.E. license. Trimble Engineers and Constructors, Inc. was the steel and mechanical erector for Southfork Coal Company’s coal prep plant, north of Rupert, Greenbrier County.

Some of the more notable projects snowmaking systems at Snowshoe included Hobet’s Corridor G complex Resort.” In 1978 Flesher began working for near Danville and a preparation plant Hobet Mining and Construction in and unit train loadout on the Mingo His company constructed the Shay’s Charleston.

Ahern was working for CAWV member firm G.E. Ray Construction Company, South Charleston, the subcontractor on the job. Projects also included an $18 million barge loadout facility in Catlettsburg, KY, which Flesher de- scribes as “not a bad size job in the late 1970s.”

“Following acquisition by Ashland Coal, Bill decided to take early retire- ment in 1982. I joined him in forming Trimble Engineers and Constructors, Inc. in 1982, although I was not seri- ously involved until 1988,” Flesher recalled.

After Hobet, Flesher began working for Virginia Power in 1983 as a construction manager on a pumped storage Approximately 37,000 feet of large diameter welded steel pipe was installed at a snowmaking project at Snowshoe Resort.

We reach out to these areas because the work isn’t available in West Virginia,” Flesher confirms. “The corol- lary of that is that we are able to take West Virginia labor with us due to the unemployment in this state, particularly in the construction industry.

“Our most challenging undertaking was probably three jobs we did in Tex- as. The jobs themselves were a chal- lenge because of the logistics,” he said. “Trimble’s biggest job right now is a petroleum coke handling system in Enid, Oklahoma.”

Trimble Engineers and Constructors, Inc. has completed projects in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska, New York, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kansas. According to Flesher, it’s Trimble Engineers and Constructors, Inc. was the steel and mechanical erector for Oxbow Corporation’s petroleum coke plant in Enid, Oklahoma.

“It’s a matter of doing good work for who you are working with or for,” de- clared Flesher.

“Trimble has been focused primarily in sewer/water treatment and coal related construction,” Flesher noted. “In the future, we’re reaching out into other heavy industrial construction due to the lack of work that’s currently available.”

In 1995, Flesher became the president of Trimble Engineers and Construc- tors, Inc.

As CAWV President, the Morgantown contractor said he really enjoyed the Congressional Fly-In this year. This was the 27th year of the annual event in Washington, D.C.

“We actually had the opportunity to meet with all of our senators and con- gressmen, which hasn’t happened in many years,” he commented. “It was good to meet with West Virginia’s new congressional delegation and share with them our industry’s goals and objectives. They will represent our state well.

“It was an interesting and challenging year with the change in the political landscape, both state and national, and the lack of infrastructure funding and decline in construction employment.

Enterprise Fleet Management helped promote the CAWV “Hard at Work” license plates at this year’s West Virginia Construction and Design EXPO. Members can obtain the plates on their fleet of vehicles to show their support for the construction industry. CONSTRUCTION NEWS 27 Members are “HARD AT WORK” Promoting the Industry RUN STRONG.

The CAWV’s award-winning campaign, “Hard at Work”, is a strategic communication plan designed to promote the construction industry. CAWV members have embraced the “Hard at Work” logo in their organizations with signs and banners, and have also incorporated the logo in their company letterhead, on their vehicles and in their advertising.

Members have been hanging signs and banners on job sites across West Virginia to help promote their company and the construction industry. Since 2000, CAWV members have placed over 250 signs and banners across the state. “Hard at Work” banners are intended to raise the visibility of contractors while showing pride in the industry. A top priority of the campaign is to improve public perception of the industry, in turn, leading to renewed interest in construction as a career. All CAWV members are encouraged to become involved in the association’s “Hard at Work” campaign.

Any member that is using the “Hard at Work” logo in their operation is invited to e-mail a photo for inclusion in future issues of WVCN or on the CAWV website. To order a sign, banner, or request a CAWV logo, contact Cassidy Webb at (304) 342- 1166 or [email protected].
