ISC Constructors has been named the 2015 Specialty Contractor of the Year by Engineering News-Record Texas & Louisiana. As the trade publication reports, the Baton Rouge-based electrical subcontractor saw a strong 2014, with regional revenues propelling upward by about $55 million over 2013 figures. This jump is due in part to the plentiful refining and chemical industry expansions taking place throughout the Gulf Coast region, in Louisiana in particular.
ISC was able to capitalize on that industry growth, having been preparing for Gulf Coast expansion over the past few years with workforce development and training efforts, plus the recent opening of a new office in Lake Charles.
Beyond the job site, ISC and its associates have contributed to more than 80 charitable organizations over the past year, in the form of monetary donations and the giving of time and personal caring in various capacities, including education, medical research, health and well-being.
So far this year, ISC has earned three ABC Excellence in Construction Eagle Awards and one ABC Excellence in Construction Pyramid Award from ABC National, a first place in Division III of the Hard Craft Specialty Trade Category for demonstrating safety excellence without injury, and a Contractor Safety Excellence Award from the Greater Baton Rouge Industry Alliance. The firm will also be honored as one of the 2015 LSU 100: Fastest Growing Tiger Businesses for the third time this October.
