1950

The Foundation Is Poured

It all began in a union hall, with a carpenter’s vision and a forming system that changed everything.

Now I have been known to embellish a tad in telling stories, but I promise to narrate as accurately as possible.

Let’s start…

February of 1950, George C. Hill signed the corporate papers to set Union Concrete on a long journey. He was a Carpenter Foreman, working out of Local 9 in Buffalo. The Carpenters and Laborers Local 210 saw a need for a signatory contractor doing concrete foundations with a newly developed forming system.

Safety Brief

Situational awareness is critical on construction sites to prevent accidents and ensure a safe working environment. As the season begins, be mindful of your surroundings, including moving equipment, overhead loads, and changing ground conditions. Before starting any task, take a moment to assess potential hazards and identify emergency exit routes. Maintain eye contact with equipment operators and use clear hand signals when necessary. Avoid distractions such as cell phones while walking through active work zones. If something feels unsafe, stop and reassess—safety is a shared responsibility, and staying alert can save lives.

Reminders
