COMMUNICATION VITAL IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Communication is vital in the construction industry because it can help ensure a project's success: 

• Safety: Poor communication can lead to injuries and accidents. To prevent accidents, hand signals are used to communicate with crane operators. 

• Project outcomes: Effective communication helps ensure project objectives are met, and it can improve collaboration and productivity. 

• Teamwork: Communication can help improve teamwork and morale. 

• Cost control: Miscommunication can lead to mistakes, rework, and additional costs. 

• Reputation: A history of delays, disputes, and accidents can damage a company's reputation. 

• Project status: Communication helps everyone understand the project's status. 

• Decision-making: Communication facilitates timely decision-making. 

• Client expectations: Communication helps manage client expectations.

Myrtle Grove construction Project Update

Greenup is working on the Hurricane Protection Project in Plaquemines Parish, LA, to keep people safe. We are pleased to provide you with this Myrtle Grove update:

In spite of the weather, we have continued to press ahead on this critical risk-reduction project for the people of Plaquemines Parish. So far, we have placed over 1.1 million Cubic Yards (CY) for levee construction, supporting geotextile fabric for levee stability, ninety-five percent of the

levee footprint has been cleared and is ready for continued construction, over 16,000 square feet of steel sheet piles have been driven for the utility crossings and drainage structure, over 15 structural pipe piles have been driven to support those structures, 5000 linear feet (LF) of

culverts for site drainage, nearly 300,000 CY has been excavated for the new drainage canal. In addition, two thousand tons of stone have been placed in that canal to retard erosion. This project is still scheduled

to finish on time in August 2026.

Greenup is partnering with Cajun JV, LLC, and presented the lowest bid for the New Orleans to Venice [first] lift levee and drainage canal relocation project, La Reussite to Myrtle Grove, Plaquemines Parish. The project consists of clearing, grubbing, excavating new drainage canals, placing culverts and drainage structures, building new T-walls and levee ramp crossings, placing levee embankments, geotextile work, turf establishment, and surfacing. “We are thrilled to be working with Cajun Industries on this project and look forward to doing all we can to provide storm and hurricane protection to Louisiana,” Rodney Greenup says.

Greenup Industries Participated in LED's Small Business Mentor Program

Rodney Greenup, of Greenup Industries, was proud to be included in the Louisiana Economic Development Mentor-Protégé Program For Small Businesses held on July 28-30, 2020. The partnerships that emerge from the program aim to help emerging small companies succeed in Louisiana's economy.

Several Louisiana businesses, big and small, have become textbook cases in a push to encourage growth and closely help integrate second-stage businesses into a mutually beneficial sharing of networking resources. In July, Louisiana Economic Development, in coordination with the Edward Lowe Foundation, founded The American Academy of Entrepreneurs to strengthen networking and communication within and outside second-stage businesses.

Second-stage businesses employ roughly 10 to 100 people. The Mentor-Protégé Program For Small Businesses’ goal is to help these companies build and retain an effective team, decide which strategy is best for long-lasting growth, and discover how to locate and zero in on targeted opportunities.

Via Zoom Meetings, the program paired second-stage businesses with other participating firms to create Mentor-Protégé relationships. The intensive, retreat-focused approach was designed to discover the value of companies' relationships and how they can be strengthened. Following the retreat, the company pairs will continue to hold monthly meetings to collaborate and focus on company objectives.

The LED staff understands that the assistance from programs such as these helps us better maintain quality at the intersection of opportunity and intervention. Continued dedication to quality through cooperation across the industry provides solutions and other positive benefits for the entire industry.
