Bob Moore Construction, a contractor based in Arlington, Texas, has received a 2009 Merit Award for Construction Excellence from TEXO, the north Texas chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC).
According to a company press release, the award was given for the construction of the Pioneer 360 Business Center in Arlington. The three-building, 1.16-million-square-foot business park along State Highway 360 in Arlington is the largest LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Core and Shell Industrial project in the state of Texas, the company says. The project began with the demolition and asbestos abatement of the abandoned, 800,000-square-foot Festival Marketplace mall; more than 95 percent (91,634 tons) of the steel, concrete, asphalt, copper and aluminum coming from the mall were recycled rather than sent to landfill.
With this award, 2009 marks the fifth consecutive year where Bob Moore Construction has received formal honors from industry organizations and publications, according to the company. Previous awards have included AGC General Contractor of the Year, AGC Safety Director of the Year, Texas Building Branch / AGC Outstanding Construction Award, multiple AGC Summit and Merit Awards, Texas Construction Magazine's Best of Award, and TCA's certificates of recognition for superior safety performance.
