NEW GOLF COURSE CONSTUCTION
Out with the old, in with the new. Over the last decade, Pro/Angle® has been featured on renovations to existing golf courses. The projects ranged from bunker renovations to complete rebuilds and everything in between.
2022, was another big year for renovations, but a bit of a change, Pro/Angle was selected on two new ground up new construction projects, something we haven’t supplied in years. Lost Rail Golf Club in Greta, NE, and Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
Pro/Angle has a long history of supplying Pro/Angle to both the Omaha, NE, and Palm Beach County, FL, areas. We’re proud to have been selected to supply these two new construction projects.

CENTER TOWNSHIP WATER AUTHORITY
Center Township Water Authority (CTWA) is in the final phase of construction of a new permanent water filtration plant. Phase Three began in October and is due to be completed in the Fall of 2024. The new potable water supply and treatment plant will produce 5-million gallons a day and serve 18,000 people. Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex in Potter Township, is paying the almost $70 million cost of the plant, with no cost to CTWA customers. Shell negotiated the deal to fund the relocation of the plant in exchange for the CTWA’s previous location in Potter Township, in order to use the land as part of its multibillion-dollar ethane cracker facility.
Sidley Precast Group was the PCI Certified precast producer on the project and has been erecting the project throughout the winter months. The project had over 200 precast components to encompass 200,000 sqft. LSSE Civil Engineers and Surveyors, Albion, PA, are the designers of the project and Mele & Mele & Sons, Inc., Braddock, PA, is the contractor.

MSHA TRAINING
Each year the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) requires an 8-hour refresher safety training course for all mine workers. This year R.W. Sidley had about 50 employees and 9 contractors who regularly work in our mine attend the mandatory training on health and safety standards. Not only is it valuable training, it is also provides an excellent opportunity to get all the mine employee’s together and talk about safety issues and concerns in the mine. During this time, we also talk about accomplishments and promote safety and goals for the start of the new calendar year.

Erin Derzon, Assistant Project Manager
Sidley Precast Group
|
|
Since joining Sidley Precast Group, a year ago, I have got to know many of the people that work at our Thompson location, not only in precast but also our aggregate and ready-mix divisions. Their dedication to the company, the late Bob Sidley and providing our customers with the best construction products available has made a lasting impression on me. As Assistant Project Manager, I am responsible for facilitating the successful design, fabrication, and installation of our precast building components and systems on several of our projects, including the Pittsburgh Airport Terminal Parking Garage.
The biggest things that motivate me are my team, ensuring the safety of their work environment, and contributing to the town that I live in through the company I work for. I am also part of Sidley’s Sustainability Committee, which is working to reduce and recycle its waste while performing community outreach activities. We are planning to start a community garden in Thompson this spring, this is something that is a great motivator for me and very close to heart, since I enjoy most being outdoors, gardening and caring for my horses.
