A busy ballpark concession stand depends on systems most visitors never see. At the City of Chattanooga’s Summit of Softball complex, JBrennon Construction upgraded the Red Building with a new commercial kitchen ventilation system, electrical improvements, fire-protection integration, and a custom-designed galvanized ladder and rooftop service platform.

From equipment installation and roof coordination to permanent maintenance access, the completed project brought multiple trades together to support reliable concession operations for years to come.

Take a tour of the transformation at Collegedale Pump Station.

This Friday, October 9, we're sharing five before-and-after comparisons from Project 25-072 while our team continues the remaining punch work and closeout.

From the building exterior to the dry-well pumps and piping, the changes reflect a coordinated effort across building renovations, mechanical systems, electrical and controls work, coatings and site grading. Temporary bypass systems and pump-testing coordination were part of the construction sequence.

Each card shows the same general area at two stages. The “after” photos were taken in September and show installed improvements.

Progress can look rough before the finished system takes shape—and that is exactly where the JBrennon Construction, Inc. planning matters most.

Our team has mobilized at the City of Chattanooga’s Summit Landfill for the air-compressor replacement project. We staged temporary air equipment, removed the original compressors, and opened the existing concrete pedestal and slab area for the new layout.

The end result will be a coordinated compressed-air system with two permanent compressors, drying and receiver equipment, new piping and electrical work, condensate separation, restored concrete, startup, training, and owner documentation.

Six damaged TPO roof areas. One occupied Atlanta building. One tight side street with limited room for staging.

On Monday, September 21, JBrennon’s solution at 270 15th Street NE started at street level: establish traffic control, create a protected work zone, position the dumpster inside the closure, and deploy a long-reach Liebherr MK 140 for rooftop access and material handling.

Have a hard-to-reach commercial or multifamily roof? This is the access, safety, and logistics planning we coordinate before the first roof cut.

Traffic control was coordinated with Protection Agency, MK 140 crane support was provided by Crane Service, and roofing mobilization was completed by JBrennon.

Liebherr calls the MK 140 its most powerful mobile construction crane. The model can lift up to approximately 17,600 pounds—and about 4,190 pounds at its maximum 213-foot radius, depending on configuration and the applicable load chart.

When adverse weather was forecast, the team made the right decision: no demolition and no exposed roof before rain. Powerful equipment made the work possible, but careful planning protected the public and the owner’s building.

If difficult access is complicating your next roofing project, call or message JBrennon. We’ll help make the work manageable.

Saturday Spotlight: The People Behind the Projects
Project location Bid Ridge Pumping Station - Chattanooga

Great construction starts with great people (Andrew Welsh and Chuck Booth). From planning and coordination to the work happening in the field, every JBrennon project is powered by employees and trade partners who take pride in doing the job right.

Today, we’re recognizing the teamwork, craftsmanship, and commitment behind every project we build.

What do you think makes a great construction team?

How do you rebuild a critical wastewater pump station when the system still has a job to do—and the station itself doesn’t operate like a typical pump station?

At Highland Park in Chattanooga, that was the challenge. For industrial, manufacturing, commercial, and municipal owners, the lesson is the same: critical infrastructure rarely gives you the luxury of shutting everything down and starting over.

Highland Park is a wet-weather pump station. During elevated flow conditions, it helps manage the City of Chattanooga's hydraulic profile, so how and when the pumps operate affects more than the equipment inside the building—it affects the larger collection system.

That turned this rehabilitation into a systems-integration challenge. JBrennon coordinated temporary bypass pumping, wet-well access and dewatering, 24-inch process piping, pumps, valves and actuators, electrical distribution, instrumentation, PLC/RTU/SCADA integration, startup, testing, and owner training around an active facility.

Field conditions required project-team coordination on constructability and structural details. Commissioning data led to refinements in pump sequencing, level control, lead/lag operation, VFD behavior, alarms, SCADA, backup controls, and generator operation. When equipment timelines shifted, the team resequenced work so delayed components did not stop everything that could still move forward.

Swipe through the field story—from coated wet-well piping and fabricated flanged fittings to installed pumps, the finished valve manifold, and owner turnover.

The result wasn’t simply a collection of new components. It was an integrated station that had to operate the way the City’s wastewater system needed it to operate.

That is where a contractor adds value on complex infrastructure work: helping turn design intent, real-world field conditions, and operating requirements into a functioning facility.

At JBrennon Construction, Inc., safety starts before anyone goes below grade.

A wet-well entry can involve limited access, changing air conditions, active flows, stored energy, and a difficult rescue environment. That is why the plan must be ready before the hatch opens: permit, hazard isolation, atmospheric testing and monitoring, ventilation, attendant, communication, and retrieval/rescue readiness.

Hydrogen sulfide can occur around sewage and wastewater work, and smell is not a reliable warning. Use properly maintained monitoring equipment and follow the approved entry plan.

At JBrennon Construction, we believe deliberate preparation is essential to controlled work—and to getting everyone home safely.

Building strength from the top down at Highland 75 Water Pump Station

At JBrennon Construction’s Highland 75 Pump Station Ground-up in Cartersville, Georgia, an important constructability challenge called for an engineered solution.

The original segmental retaining-wall design would have required a wide reinforced-backfill zone and extensive hillside excavation—potentially extending beyond the project’s permitted Limits of Disturbance. Working with Bartow County, Sweitzer Engineering, and Rembco Geotechnical Contractors, the team transitioned to a permanent soil nail and shotcrete retaining system.

Constructed from the top down, the process involved excavating controlled lifts, drilling and grouting high-strength steel nails into the hillside, installing drainage and reinforcing steel, testing the anchors, and applying a permanent shotcrete facing. The completed wall extends approximately 244 feet and reaches roughly 16 feet at its highest point.

More than a concrete surface, the system reinforces the existing hillside, resists lateral earth pressure, limits erosion and localized soil movement, and protects the pump-station footprint—all while significantly reducing the excavation and environmental disturbance associated with a conventional reinforced-fill wall.

It is a great example of constructability review, specialty engineering, and field coordination coming together to deliver lasting infrastructure.
