Sterling Construction Company, Inc. (NasdaqGS: STRL) (“Sterling” or “the Company”) today announced that its subsidiary, J. Banicki Construction Inc. (“Banicki”) was awarded a contract by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company (“BNSF”). The $18.6 million project at the Glendale Intermodal Facility Terminal in Glendale, AZ involves rebuilding the infrastructure and expanding the capacity of the container storage yard. In addition, Banicki will construct upgraded storm drain piping systems along with a new wash and maintenance facility. Construction will start this month and is expected to be completed in December of 2019.
Joe Cutillo, Sterling’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This award is consistent with our strategy to pursue value-driven projects where we leverage our expertise to perform more customer centric work in end-markets that diversify our overall backlog and expand our margin. As exports across multiple product lines continue to grow, BNSF has made significant investment in intermodal container yard space to support this growth as they are the only western railroad with access to all major western gateways. As we break ground on our second project at the Glendale Intermodal Facility Terminal, we look forward to constructing a state-of-the-art facility at this critical terminal that will allow for BNSF to meet increased customer demand.”
