From the Archives – The Egan Philosophy

Friday, May 1st, 2020

Deep in the archives, was a 1970 copy of Egan News. It prominently featured “The Egan Philosophy”. Fifty years later, we still hold the same values. As always, our customers are at the forefront of our work, and will continue to be for years to come. 

Don’t take it from us, read what our customers have to say:

“Everyone I’ve worked with at Egan has approached their work in a professional manner, with a clear goal of providing the highest quality of work.”

“Continual support throughout the entire project from initial design through turnover and warranty period. I can always rely on Egan.”

“The group from Egan working on our project has assisted to make this project a team effort. They get the job done safely and on time. They are also willing to do whatever it takes.”

“I enjoy working with the Egan Team because they are highly skilled both in the office and the field.”

“Very easy to work with, and I am very confident in their abilities to execute at all phases of the project.”



Egan Company COVID-19 Response and Preparedness Plan

Friday, March 13th, 2020

We’re all experiencing an unusual time with the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak developing throughout the United States and in our communities. Like you, the safety and well-being of our employees and their families, our customers, and our colleagues are of utmost priority.

Across the company, we have taken preventative measures to stay prepared

Below are the precautions and practices Egan has implemented over the last week to “slow the spread”:

  • Mobilizing a Task Force team that is meeting daily to closely monitor the situation, quickly implement safe working environment strategies as outlined by public health agencies, and continuing to develop our prevention, preparedness, and response plans
  • Encouraging all Egan employees to self-monitor daily for symptoms that could be associated with viral respiratory infections (fever, cough, shortness of breath) before coming into work
  • Enacting key CDC guidance, including social distancing, hygiene measures, and minimizing large social gatherings
  • Leveraging technology and various communication avenues to keep employees informed of changing expectations and updated tactical plans
  • Implementing screening protocol (cruise or recent travel, known exposure, symptoms)
  • Limiting all non-essential in-person meetings and placing restrictions on visitations
  • Encouraging remote work wherever viable

Asking for your support by following similar precautions

To ensure the safety of everyone on the job, Egan is asking all customers, partners, subcontractors, vendors/suppliers to also follow similar protocols. This includes:

  • Adherence to CDC and MDH guidance
  • Maintaining ongoing communication and informing Egan of any anticipated project changes or supply chain interruptions
  • Screening all visitors prior to visiting or working at any Egan site, shop, or office

We are also committed to doing our part to limit the spread of COVID-19 and maintain a healthy workforce

At this time, Egan is not experiencing (and does not anticipate) delays in responding to customer needs. We will continue to uphold our commitment to providing responsive, high-quality, skilled trades services to keep our customers’ facilities and their systems operationally sound. We will also continue to serve our customers’ construction and fabrication needs, while implementing necessary precautions on jobsites to monitor and maintain the health of our workforce.

Our thoughts are with anyone who may be affected by the coronavirus. As the situation evolves, we will work alongside you as we all manage through this unique challenge together.

AWARDED FOR OUTSTANDING SAFETY PERFORMANCE AND EXCELLENCE IN PROJECT EXECUTION

Saturday, February 1st, 2020

Every day, on every job, safety remains the highest priority. This culture of safety didn’t happen overnight, on one project, or in one year. It’s been built on a commitment spanning across decades. A commitment we are proud to share with other industry leaders who value safety as much as we do.

January 31 not only marked the grand opening of Cargill’s GEOS R&D facility, but also a key safety milestone. Along with Terra Construction, we extend congratulations to Egan’s Electrical Special Projects team for being recognized for Outstanding Safety Performance and Excellence in Project Execution.

Operations Manager Jason Rosati shared an inspiring message from Cargill: “this project came in two weeks ahead of schedule, under budget and with no injuries. Safety, quality, and productivity is very much achievable.”  

We’re proud of our team for living Egan Company’s values and delivering a high performance result! It is a privilege to work alongside Terra and Cargill who both have unyielding commitments to safety.

Thank you to the following Egan contributors to this project:

  • John Kolb
  • Dan Bednar
  • Martine Hofseth
  • Herb Loeffler
  • Tim Horazuk
  • Dave Horazuk

Promises Kept Award Recognizes Exceptional Customer Service

Monday, December 17th, 2018

Exceptional customer service means going above and beyond what the customer expects. It requires making the extra effort, going the extra mile, or possibly punching the clock after hours.

At Egan, our goal is always to provide customers with an exceptional experience. It’s our promise. And, as a way to honor our employees who go above and beyond this outstanding customer service feat is our Promises Kept Award. This award is presented each year at our annual Employee Christmas Party.

This year’s team award recipients include five employees who worked on the Super Bowl Experience project at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Congratulations, Peter Johnson, Matt Larson, Rob Moretto, Pat Sullivan, and Eli Tennison.

The individual award recipient went to Deric Graff for his work at a Takeda Pharmaceuticals project. Congratulations!

“I would like to extend my appreciation to Egan’s electrical department. They were always available and friendly. Their experience and knowledge of the convention center was obvious. When challenges arose, they had solutions. Tasks were often completed as fast as the call went in for them. Spirits were always high which was appreciated after many long days. It was a privilege to work with this team. Thank you for helping us accomplish a successful Super Bowl Experience.”

– Hathaway, Super Bowl Experience

“Thank you to Egan’s team for the great service you provided to the Minneapolis Convention Center. Your work and dedication exceeded expectations and the team worked endless hours without compromise. No matter the obstacle, the team found a solution. Thank you for your continued support.”

– Brereton, Minneapolis Convention Center

Deric Graff has provided invaluable contributions to the recently completed Facility Restart Project, known as Project Optima. He has also contributed in other capacities including original facility construction, site maintenance, and operational readiness.

Deric’s superior skill, knowledge, judgment, and understanding as well as his unwavering dedication to identify, explain, build, test, and document the best possible solutions, is significantly responsible for bringing our facility to the budgetarily sound and timely state of completion we find it in today.

“It has been my privilege to work collaboratively with Deric. I have learned and benefited immensely from his ideas, perspective, and his ability to detect and correct errors before rework becomes necessary. He holds himself to the highest of standards for quality and professionalism in all aspects of his work.”

– Klopp, Takeda

Egan Company prides itself on keeping our promises to customers – including the promise to provide exceptional customer service.

This year, six employees were recognized by the Advanced Pain Management Clinic in Mankato for their work.

Congratulations to Justin Brandt, Keith Habeck, Matt Marchiafava, Tom Oines, Joe Olander, and Jim Patten for the outstanding work and service provided on this project.

Thank you again for the seamless installation of the new HVAC system at our site. The planning that went into the project was extensive and I appreciated meeting with you and the D.J. Kranz team ahead of time. From start to finish, any concerns we had were thoroughly addresses. Your team was always efficient, professional, and completed the upgrade on time with no disruptions. It was a pleasure working with Egan Company.
