| ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – McGrath & Associates has completed its portion of the construction work on Ameren Missouri’s $8.5 million MLK switching station at 1901 Martin Luther King Drive in downtown St. Louis.
The entire 13.8kV MLK switching project, estimated at $42.5 million, is part of a larger Ameren Missouri investment to upgrade electric service in downtown St. Louis over the coming decades. McGrath constructed 70 structural piers with eleven concrete pad foundations, a perimeter fence and a new city sidewalk. McGrath also provided site work on the project, removing abandoned sewer pipes and cisterns, including remedial soil excavating as deep as 18’ to 20’. McGrath used a Grizzly rock separator to remove unusable concrete, limestone and debris, then returned and recycled as much suitable fill materials as possible to create a stable base for the structures. McGrath & Associates is a 100 percent employee-owned general contractor and construction management firm specializing in commercial, health care, industrial, institutional and pharmaceutical construction projects since 1983. McGrath was named 2014 “General Contractor of the Year” by the American Subcontractors Association Midwest Council, an award the company has received five times out of 17 nominations. McGrath is a member of the Associated General Contractors and the St. Louis Construction OSHA Partnership.
