Equipment costs can get out of hand on any project fast. Without the right tools to track usage, allocation and performance, small inefficiencies can turn into major headaches.   As an Equipment Engineer at Pulice – a FlatironDragados company, Ben Russell shared with students at Arizona State University’s Del E. Webb School of Construction how advanced tools like Clue and Samsara are driving smarter, data-driven decisions. He also gave students a look at how technology supports the day-to-day discipline behind strong equipment management. Ben’s command of Clue (with its advanced AI functions) and other platforms has made him a valuable member of our team, helping ensure the right resources are in the right place and performing the way they should.   We value our strong relationship with Del E. Webb School of Construction and Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University and the opportunity to connect with students at one of the nation’s premier institutions for engineering and construction management.   Technology is shaping modern construction, with leaders like Ben Russell at the forefront.

Safety above all. Plain and simple. “Ultimately, a good CSPP prevents the ‘surprises’ that lead to accidents,” Pulice – a FlatironDragados company Senior Project Manager Jeff Gergal said during a panel at the Arizona Airports Association 2026 Spring Conference in Prescott, Ariz.   The AZAA session focused on Construction Safety Phasing Plans, or CSPPs, one of the most critical safety and operational tools in airport construction. Jeff’s invitation to join the panel reflected the depth of Pulice's expertise in complex aviation work and the company’s belief that safety must lead every decision in the field.   Airfield work is especially challenging. It means construction inside a live, high-risk environment. Every phase, closure, route, and movement has consequences for operations and the public.   “When we talk about the CSPP, I think the biggest misconception — especially for those new to the aviation side of civil work — is that it’s just a paperwork hurdle,” he said. “In reality, it is the primary communication tool between the airport operations team and the contractor.”   That perspective gets at the heart of Pulice’s approach. In aviation projects, safety is not treated as a compliance exercise layered on after the fact. It is embedded in how the work is planned, communicated and executed. A strong CSPP creates the predictability that airport operators, pilots and contractors all depend on.   During the discussion, Jeff also emphasized the discipline required on active airfields. Standards around FOD, runway safety areas, and phasing allow no room for assumptions. In that environment, small lapses can cause delays, disrupt operations, and increase risk. Pulice values early contractor involvement, strong coordination, and field leadership that understands both the rules and the plan's purpose.

The SH36 Brazoria County project is entering its final stretch, with crews focused on the last major activities needed to bring the corridor fully online. Nearly 13 miles of roadway have taken shape, with all mainlane concrete paving recently completed. Crews are now preparing to open the roadway to its final configuration, marking the second of three SH36 projects to reach this stage. From there, finishing work will continue as the project moves toward full closeout in the coming months. The SH 36 project widened the existing two-lane roadway, adding capacity and improving safety along a corridor that supports daily travel, strengthens access to the Port of Freeport and plays a key role in regional evacuation routes.

What does it take to complete a project at an active airfield ahead of schedule? A strong team effort from start to finish. The DAL 13L-31R Runway Safety Area Improvements & Rehabilitation of Taxiway A project is complete, bringing Taxiway A into full operation two weeks early. The work included full demolition of the existing taxiway and construction of a new taxiway, along with grading, paving, drainage, and updated lighting systems. Built in a live airfield environment, crews worked alongside ongoing flight activity, carefully phasing work to keep operations moving. Even the most complex phase, a full runway shutdown, was completed ahead of schedule helping drive early delivery. As Project Manager Matthew Smart shared: “There’s nothing better than building something meaningful for the community while enjoying every day with people you genuinely like and respect.”

Construction Safety Week gave our teams an opportunity to pause, reflect and recommit to what matters most. At Pulice – a FlatironDragados company, Safety Above All is not a campaign, a checklist or a message reserved for one week of the year. It is the standard we bring to every project, every shift and every decision. That means recognizing risk before work begins. It means stopping, reassessing and adjusting when conditions change. And finally, it means respecting the people closest to the work enough to listen, act and make the right call. At Pulice, the lessons of Safety Week are front and center year-round.

To all the hardworking mothers out there who do amazing things every day at work, at home and in the community...we have two words for you: Thank you!

More than words. Safety Above All is not only our Health and Safety slogan at Pulice – a FlatironDragados company. It is the standard that guides how we plan, communicate and work every day. That standard depends on every person in the work zone. Our co-workers are empowered to speak up, address concerns in real time and look out for one another because safety is everyone’s responsibility, not only the role of the Safety team. In honor of Safety Week, we asked colleagues on the Harbor Bridge Replacement project in Corpus Christi, Texas what Safety Above All means to them. Their answers reflect the kind of culture that matters most in heavy civil construction: one where people take ownership and make sure the work gets done the right way.
