Caddell
Caddell Construction Co., based in Montgomery, recently has been awarded three major projects near and far.
Building on its history of major U.S. facilities overseas, Caddell is at work on a new annex office building at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Two floors of the building will house consular and visa services for Russian citizens wishing to visit the U.S., while the upper floors will provide office space for U.S. agencies with work in Russia, such as NASA, the Centers for Disease Control and the Foreign Commercial Service. The building is slated to open in 2015.
In addition, the company, which is celebrating its 30th year in business this year, has been awarded contracts for two military projects — an unmanned aerial vehicle complex at Fort Stewart, Ga., a project valued at $20 million, and a basic trainee complex barracks at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., a project valued at $33 million.
