BATON ROUGE, La. - May 28, 2020 - (Newswire.com)
MMR and President/CEO Pepper Rutland are proud to announce the company’s designation on the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Top Performers List. MMR has been named the top-performing electrical contractor in the nation and third place overall on the U.S. commercial and industrial construction industry list of top performers.
The ABC 2020 Top Performers lists recognize member contractors for their achievements in several categories including safety, quality, diversity and project excellence. This is based on hours worked in 2019. MMR peaked at 10.4 million work-hours in 2019, a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of .10 and an Experience Modification Rate EMR of .46. These numbers helped them achieve this honor.
In addition, under the leadership of James Pepper Rutland, MMR continues to prove its commitment to safety by achieving Diamond status in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System, which makes the top-performing contractors up to 827% safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average, according to the ABC 2020 Safety Performance Report.
This is nothing new for the distinguished electrical and instrumentation company. In 2019, MMR received multiple recognitions contributing to its status as an ABC top performer, including several STEP Diamond awards and an Excellence In Construction Award for the Indorama Ethylene Plant Restart Project. The Indorama Ventures Olefins Project consisted of the total revamp of a mothballed ethane cracker plant. The plant was idled in 2001 and sustained damage during several hurricanes. Over 433,000 safe electrical and instrumentation work-hours were spent on the multi-year project.
MMR is also designated as an Accredited Quality Contractor (AQC). ABC members that earn the AQC credential certify their commitment to quality, safety, craft and management education, talent management, diversity and community relations.
“MMR is honored to receive ABC’s highest recognitions by delivering on our commitment to safety and quality, leading the workforce in best training and development practices, achieving project excellence and establishing goodwill in the communities where we live and work,” said MMR President/CEO James B. “Pepper” Rutland.
“ABC Top Performers are the best large contractors in the merit shop construction industry, demonstrating the highest commitment to world-class safety, craftsmanship, workforce development and community engagement,” said Michael Bellaman, president and chief executive officer of ABC. “These rankings identify contractors like MMR that will continue to lead our industry as we adopt innovative technologies, tackle industry-wide challenges such as the workforce shortage, and lead us into a new decade.”
Led by James Pepper Rutland, MMR is the industry leader in instrumentation and electrical construction, maintenance and technical services. MMR continues to grow both regionally and nationally with thirty branch offices throughout the United States as well as in Canada, Trinidad, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panamá.
