News Release > Carolinas AGC Announces 2008 Pinnacle Award WinnersFor additional information contact Lori Tharp - Carolinas AGC NC CENTER FOR ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING & DS SIMMONS EARN TOP INDUSTRY HONORS
This $8 million project challenged DS Simmons to completely renovate a World War II–era Coast Guard Station located on the remote Ocracoke Island, accessible only by ferry. Just one of the many challenges was the sheer remoteness of this job site; shipments of equipment, materials were significantly limited in size, weight and frequency. The annual Carolinas AGC Pinnacle Awards are the most prestigious recognition in the Carolinas construction industry. Member firms can be honored for their performance as a company, or for a specific project. As the largest AGC chapter in the nation with 2,800 member firms, Carolinas AGC’s mission is to build its members’ businesses through workforce development, business development and profit management. More than 75% of commercial and industrial construction (buildings, highways/bridges, utility facilities) in both North and South Carolina is performed or supported by Carolinas AGC members.
