Dean Kurtz Construction
Dean Kurtz Construction is a family-owned and operated construction company in the Black Hills and surrounding areas of South Dakota, though challenging projects and repeat projects for clients have taken it across the upper Midwest, into North Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado.
Le Sueur County Justice Center
In 2012, Le Sueur County, Minnesota faced a dilemma: It was tasked with either replacing the county jail, dating from 1912, with one that met state Department of Corrections standards – at considerable cost – or downgrading it to a 90-day holding facility and wasting tax dollars on court-day transportation.
The Kearney Companies
It was 1956, a time when hard work and dedication paid off. Eisenhower was re-elected, Elvis tore up the charts with Heartbreak Hotel, Wes Kearney’s son Bing was born, and Wes himself bought his first bulldozer; this was the start of what would become a stellar sitework company.
Leavitt Cranes
To most of us, construction cranes all look the same. To those in industry who rely on cranes, however, they are crucial to job success, tasked with hoisting anything from heavy concrete to delicate glass. As such, the right supplier and perfect crane choice can put your company ahead of the competition.
Sharing Skills in the Workplace
As thousands of experienced workers retire across North America every day, it is small wonder many industries are concerned about the future. It has been a decade since the oldest members of the baby boom generation started leaving their jobs, removing from the workplace decades of experience and skills that are tough to replace. The situation is so dire that, when younger workers are not available or knowledgeable enough to take over, retired staffers are often called back to work on a part-time basis.

EI Associates
In architecture, engineering, and design, it’s not unusual to hear words like ‘green’ and ‘sustainability.’ For C. Bruce Christman, Jr., these terms encompass more than materials and construction methods, and include careful consideration of operating costs and making structures as efficient as possible.

Bamboo Living
Many of us are concerned about the environment and reducing our carbon footprint, but David Sands has made the future of the planet his life’s work. A meeting between carpenter Jeffree Trudeau and architect Sands on the Island of Maui in 1994 led the two to realize there had to be a better, more sustainable, and earth-friendly way to build—and it was with bamboo.
Dinoflex
Driving—it’s something that most of us do, and let’s face it, where would we be without it? But we also know that it comes with downsides for our environment. The emissions are the obvious part, but there is another significant part of our vehicles that can also contribute to pollution: the tires that our cars run on.
