🏆 3rd Place — Best Places to Work in South Carolina! 🏆

Last night in Columbia, we had the honor of celebrating an incredible accomplishment for Langston Construction Company — 3rd Place in the Medium Employer Category for Best Places to Work in South Carolina!

This recognition means so much because it’s about more than a ranking. It reflects the people who make Langston what it is — our employees, our leadership, and the culture we work together to build every day.

We are incredibly proud to be recognized among some of the best employers in South Carolina, and even more proud of the team that made this possible.

Thank you to every member of the Langston family for helping make our company a place where people want to work, grow, and succeed.

Langston Construction is heading to Knoxville next week for the Tennessee Municipal Electric Power Association (TMEPA) 60th Annual Meeting, July 15–17.

We're proud to sponsor and exhibit at this milestone Tennessee Municipal Electric Power Association (TMEPA) event, alongside the municipal electric utilities and communities they power. Sixty years of serving Tennessee's public power is worth celebrating.

Since 1969, Langston Construction Company has built critical infrastructure for public power and municipalities, delivering construction and physical security for mission-critical facilities. When reliability and schedule matter, our own crews deliver.

If your team is attending, stop by our booth. We'd welcome the chance to talk through your upcoming projects and how we can help get them built safely and on time.

Here's to 60 years, TMEPA. See you in Knoxville.

A company photo doesn't tell you much.

Especially when half the team is out building something right now.

But here's what you can't see in this picture:

→ 57 years of continuous operation since 1969
→ Active projects across North America
→ NERC CIP-014 physical security expertise most contractors can't touch
→ Substation, BESS, water, and data center construction under one roof
→ Over 100 more team members in the field keeping critical infrastructure on schedule

Every person at Langston Construction, in this photo or on a job site today, builds the infrastructure that utilities, battery storage operators, water treatment facilities, and data center owners depend on.

We don't chase trends. We've been building what the grid needs since before deregulation existed.

If you're planning a substation, BESS site, water treatment facility, or data center project, talk to the team, not just the logo.

A single snake just knocked out power for ~4,500 people.

On June 7, a snake slid into a Statesville Public Power substation in Iredell County, NC, looking for warmth, made contact with energized equipment, and took the grid down for roughly 4,500 customers. Crews needed about 90 minutes to restore service.

It sounds almost comical. It stops being funny the moment you price out 90 minutes of downtime at a hospital, a water treatment plant, a data center, or a manufacturing line.

Here's the uncomfortable part: animal intrusion is one of the most common and most preventable causes of unplanned substation outages in the country. Snakes, raccoons, birds, and rodents trigger thousands of them every year. They are drawn to the warmth and shelter of the equipment, and once they bridge an energized gap, the result is the same every time. Lights out.

The fix is not exotic. It is engineered animal mitigation fencing and barrier systems.

Langston Construction Company has built and protected critical infrastructure since 1969. Our animal mitigation fencing keeps wildlife out of the places that cannot afford to go dark:

• Electric substations and switchyards
• Water and wastewater treatment facilities
• Battery energy storage and renewable sites
• Data centers and other mission-critical facilities

Reliability is not just transformers and relays. It is what you keep on the other side of the fence.

If your facility does not have a wildlife intrusion plan, that is a one-snake problem waiting to happen. Let's talk before the next outage, not after.

⛳ Proud to Give Back

Langston Construction was honored to sponsor the 2nd Annual Lane Clarkson Classic, supporting the My Chance Foundation and its mission to provide youth with opportunities through sports and outdoor experiences.

This event is especially meaningful to us—Lane was one of our own, and it’s incredible to see his legacy continue to bring people together for such a great cause.

It was a great day filled with golf, fellowship, and community support.

Construction Safety Week's 2026 theme is "All In Together."

For 57 years, our Culture of Care has been grounded in three principles: Care, Courage, and Courtesy.

Different words. Same idea: nobody on a Langston Construction jobsite goes home unsafe because somebody else stayed silent.

What "All In Together" looks like on our jobsites this week, and every week:

→ A dedicated EHS team on every project, not a shared rotation
→ Daily jobsite safety meetings before the first tool comes out
→ Quarterly Safety Committee reviews procedures that actually change
→ A Good Catch Incentive Program that rewards the foreman, the laborer, and the subcontractor equally for stopping work
→ Subcontractor prequalification and orientation before anyone clips on a harness
→ Every EHS lead and supervisor accredited by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals

This year's Construction Safety Week pillars are Recognize. Respond. Respect.

Recognize the hazard. Respond before it becomes an incident. Respect the person standing next to you enough to speak up.

We've earned Presidential Safety Awards from CAGC, AGC/Willis honors, and OSHA recognitions across our building, utility infrastructure, and municipal divisions since 1991.

The awards matter. But our team will tell you what matters more: sending everyone home at the end of the day.

That's the only safety metric that counts.

To every craftworker, foreman, project manager, EHS professional, and subcontractor partner across the 16 states we work in: thank you for showing up "all in together" every shift. Not just this week.

The best projects are built on partnerships, not just contracts. Establishing that trust has been Langston Construction Company's priority since 1969.

The traditional "us vs. them" approach to construction often leads to delays and budget overruns. We prefer a different path. Through Construction Management, we act as an extension of the owner’s team from day one.

This collaborative model allows us to:

- Identify cost savings during the design phase.
- Resolve potential conflicts before they reach the field.
- Ensure the owner’s vision is protected at every stage.

Construction should be a transparent process. We are here to be the eyes and ears on the job site for our clients
