“In the midst of the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, we are weeks if not months away from a full accounting of its toll on our city, but we already know it is of epic proportions. No individual or business has escaped its impact,” Ben Johanneman, vice president operations McCarthy Building Companies Houston, tells GlobeSt.com. “Every active construction project will require recovery efforts, and they will be balanced with the recovery efforts of active facilities. We make safety a top priority at every job site for our employees, clients and project partners while keeping our focus on delivering exceptional client service. Our commitment to safety and clients never waivers, especially when we are impacted by a natural disaster. At our CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital project in Corpus Christi, we put a volunteer ride-out team in place during the hurricane to help hospital facilities and leadership handle any operational issues that might arise during the storm. Currently we are determining how best to re-mobilize our projects and assist our clients and each other when it becomes safe to do so, but we take comfort knowing we have the support of all of our McCarthy partners across the country.”
