KANSAS CITY, MO — Ceco Concrete Construction LLC, a design-assist structural concrete contractor, announces Danny Battles has been named President. Battles previously served as Senior Vice President of Ceco’s Southern Operations.

In his 31-year tenure at Ceco, Battles has served the company in various roles and levels of management, working at Ceco operations in Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix, Dallas, New Orleans and — most recently — San Antonio for the past 12 years.

Battles has worked on numerous Ceco projects throughout the years, including Chase Field in Phoenix. Chase Field, formerly Bank One Ballpark, is the nation’s first stadium with a retractable roof over a natural grass playing surface, which was replaced by synthetic turf in 2019.
