The people who fuel Ames Construction are building a legacy, and we were fortunate to celebrate a few of them from our Central/corporate office in September at our Legacy Awards event. The evening honors our team members on 5-year increments beginning with 20 years of service at Ames. It's awesome to see people receive 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years of service recognition. These coworkers contribute their expertise to Ames projects and provide valuable mentoring to our new hires. We couldn’t do it without them. Congrats and thank you to everyone receiving awards in 2025! #AmesConstruction is Fueled by Family https://lnkd.in/eC5YErB #EmployeeOwned #construction #contractor #service #milestone #anniversary #awards

We’re proud to mark the official completion of the Twin Ports Interchange Project in Duluth, MN. A major infrastructure milestone delivered by the Ames-Kraemer Joint Venture, in partnership with Ames Construction and our dedicated team. This $435M project enhances safety and traffic flow across I-35, Hwy 53, and I-535, improving connectivity for over 80,000 vehicles daily, including 5,000 freight trucks. It also lays the groundwork for future improvements, including the upcoming replacement of the Blatnik Bridge, a critical freight and commuter link between Duluth, MN and Superior, WI. Huge thank you to our people who worked long days in all types of weather and stayed committed to safety and quality. We would also like to thank our suppliers, subcontractors, Minnesota Department of Transportation and the local community who brought this complex, multi-year project to life. A job well done! #Kraemerna #kraemernorthamerica #kraemer #minneosta #duluthmn #Infrastructure #Construction #AmesKraemer #AmesConstruction #TwinPortsInterchange #Transportation #Duluth #BlatnikBridge #PublicWorks #Teamwork

Come find Paul Kolias or myself to talk about your Data Center site civil needs. Speed to market is key and if you don’t have all the site issues addressed and ready to tackle, your building construction may be delayed. Come find us, and let’s work together to get your site ready for your GC partner. #solutionswithoutsurprises #heavycivilconstruction
