Eckman winners at the ABC NH/VT Awards
Bedford, NH – Eckman Construction was honored with The Chairman’s Award for its work at the N.H. Job Corps Center by The Associated Builders and Contractors NH/VT Chapter (ABC NH/VT). The organization’s annual Excellence in Construction Awards Ceremony, held in October at the Manchester Country Club in Bedford, recognizes The Best of the Best of construction projects throughout the region. Eckman also took home a Sustainable Building Award.
The N.H. Job Corps Center’s seven-building campus
The N.H. Job Corps Center’s seven-building campus is situated on the west side of Manchester on a 25-acre site. When sitework began at the sloped location, over 80,000 cubic yards of ledge had to be blasted, then crushed, and ultimately either repurposed or removed safely from the site. Other challenges included two historically cold and precipitation-laden winters and the use of a unique mix of construction materials designed to achieve both a distinctive look and a high-performance campus that would stand the test of time. By overcoming these challenges, Eckman was able to deliver a state-of-the-art training center that provides young people in the Granite State the tools and support they need to become employable, independent, and successful.
