A recent article in Glass Magazine, highlighted the lack of women in construction and how some companies in the glass industry have made efforts to solve a worker shortage by recruiting more women to join the industry.
Tim Woolworth, Egan Company Senior Vice President, was interviewed for the story, providing insight into how Egan’s InterClad team deals with potential worker shortages.
[Hiring women] would help offset the labor shortage and we have experienced this on recent projects,” says Woolworth. “Some of these recent past projects have field labor utilization goals requiring a certain percentage of the field crew be … female. These goals have raised awareness for the unions and ourselves that have helped put a focus on new female recruits.

In addition, one of Egan’s Senior Project Managers from our InterClad team, Deb Linquist, was featured in Glass Magazine’s article about women in construction. Way to go, Deb!
Today marks five years since we lost Craig Carlson and Ron Rajkowski on a highway worksite. They were struck and killed by an inattentive driver in October 2011.
Craig and Ron’s legacy is their families, our memories, and the new worksite safety legislation their tragic story helped to get enacted. At Egan, we are dedicated to ensuring all jobsites are safe – for all Minnesota workers. We are continually improving our safety program by staying up-to-date with new safety measures and by utilizing your many suggestions and ideas.
Our goal is for everyone to go home at the end of the day to their loved ones. As we remember Craig and Ron and their families, let’s continue our commitment and efforts to always stay safe.
Please keep their families in your thoughts and prayers on this difficult day.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (May 27, 2016) – Specialty trades contractor Egan Company completed the expansion of its 50,000 square foot mechanical trades shop within its Brooklyn Park, Minn. facility. The expansion adds 7,420 square feet to the existing space, as well as upgraded and new equipment – increasing productivity while creating a safer environment for employees.
Over 70 years ago, Egan Company began as a plumbing and heating contractor. The sheet metal trade was added in 1958. Since this era, Egan has invested in its fabrication shops to provide fast delivery of custom-built mechanical systems to its customers.
“We’ve expanded our shops with the purpose of integrating all shops into one . . . we opened walls to promote the sharing of resources and foster collaboration across all trades,” said Mark Habermann, Egan Company Manufacturing Manager.
Rearranging and integrating Egan’s piping, plumbing, sheet metal, and millwright shops has streamlined the operations that enable Egan to offer just-in-time delivery to job sites. Coupled with Virtual Construction technology, Egan provides materials under any timeline while working in a controlled, union-operated environment. Likewise, having union trades personnel working indoors in a shop environment reduces many potential safety hazards.
“Any task we can perform in our facility, under controlled conditions rather than on the jobsite, is a win for our employees and our customers,” Habermann said.
The shop – used to manufacture and store custom piping, plumbing, and sheet metal components – has more space for racking and inventory and now houses new equipment such as an Axxair stainless pipe cutting machine and a Jimmy Jammer semi-automatic welding system.
Trades served by the expanded shop space include sheet metal, piping, plumbing, and millwrights.
