SWANTON, OH — Foundation Steel in Swanton, Ohio, won IMPACT’s Project of the Year award in the Bridge/Structural and Metal Building categories. IMPACT is the labor-management arm of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers. Foundation Steel was honored along with the other winners from each of the six categories at an award reception held in Washington, D.C. During the awards ceremony, winning contractors received their awards from IMPACT’s CEO Kevin Hilton.

Foundation Steel employs over 200 ironworkers, whether on a large battery plant, cast-in-place residential high rises, or industrial facilities. Last year, the company contributed thousands of man hours while maintaining a very low Experience Modification Rating of 0.71.

The New City Administrative Services Building won the award in the Bridge/Structural category, and the Apprenticeship Training and Lab Building won the award in the Metal Building category. The company completed both projects on time.

“Foundation Steel is thrilled to receive two Project of the Year awards for two of our 2023 projects," said Danny Dymarkowski, Vice President, Foundation Steel. “This opportunity to showcase the talent of our skilled tradespeople, and the partnership between management and labor cannot be overstated. Project of the Year awards truly belong to the men and women who are building America. We appreciate them daily, and we appreciate our partnership with IMPACT, Ironworkers Workers Union, and our fantastic clients who put their trust in us daily.”
