Duke Power Lake Management Projects

“Crowder Construction has served as General Contractor on eight Lake Management projects for Duke Power since 1999.” “All contractors are expected to adhere to strict safety and environment requirements while working diligently to complete the projects in the expected time frame. Crowder Construction has historically met or exceeded expectations on each project.”

Craig Road Bridge Reconstruction

“ The entire project was completed in eight months, on schedule and with excellent safety performance. The Home Office personnel from Crowder assisted in justifying the design, methods of construction, estimated cost and the construction schedule with our client, Duke Energy. The Crowder Field Superintendent and his crew performed the bridge replacement with minimal supervision from our Site Construction staff and negligible Change Orders. A final walk down and turnover of the completed bridge to our Duke client produced smiling faces, firm handshakes and a solid appreciation for Crowder Construction's good work.”

Haywood County Design-Build Bridges

“Both of these projects are of the design-build type. Unfortunately, on the current project there have been several glitches involving utility conflicts, right-of-way problems, design problems and other issues. Crowder Construction Company has not once hesitated to do whatever was necessary to resolve any problems in order to keep the projects on track. The communications skills and professionalism of the upper management of the company is outstanding.”

Cureton Parkway & Millbridge Bridge

“Both bridge projects were constructed flawlessly, on time and not a single change order was requested by Crowder for said construction. As the Development Manager for GS Carolina, it has been a pleasure to work with Crowder over the course of these two projects. In fact, we have just awarded a third bridge contract to Crowder for $1.35 million dollars to construct a covered bridge in our Millbridge community. Although Crowder was higher than the low bidder, our experience to date with their management, methods of construction and product quality made our decision very easy to spend additional monies up front with the peace of mind that a quality product would be the end result. Their bid also reflected a greater understanding of the project and the level of detail required for construction of a covered bridge.”

“Our experience has found Crowder to be on schedule with their work, very cooperative during the process, and having provided the utmost quality in the construction of our projects.”
