Every time you flip a switch, electricity has already traveled an incredible journey - from power plants like Arsenal Hill in Shreveport, across the transmission system, through substations, and onto the local network serving homes, schools and businesses. Behind that journey is constant planning, maintenance and teamwork.
Shown is a 26,000-pound Unit 5 Circulator Water Pump recently reinstalled safely after a major rebuild at Arsenal Hill Power Plant in Shreveport. The pump moves cooling water through the plant's condenser, helping the turbine operate efficiently and generate electricity reliably.
What does that mean for customers? Greater reliability, improved efficiency, and a generating unit better prepared to meet demand when our communities need it most. From the powerhouse to the power line, thousands of pieces of equipment work together every day to keep the lights on. This rebuild is one example of the behind-the-scenes investments helping power our communities today and into the future.

Historic. Inspiring. Unprecedented.

Before receiving their high school diplomas next week, members of Caddo’s Class of 2026 have already earned 106 associate degrees through our partnership with SUSLA.

Congratulations to these outstanding students and the schools, families, and partners who helped make this milestone possible!

I’m highly motivated to keep building something worthwhile with Hand Construction.

We are working to grow our team of people who know how to build, who take pride in their work, are dependable, work hard, solve problems, and have the experienced knowledge to do things the right way.

I have a lot of respect for the men and women who have spent their lives in commercial, industrial, and healthcare construction. That kind of experience matters, and so does the attitude that comes with it. Our community trusts us to build exceptional, award-winning spaces, and we are a company highly recognized for our unwavering commitment to safety and uncompromising ethics. To keep delivering projects the right way we need professionals who value teamwork, collaboration, and accountability. Let's join together.

Right now, we are actively interviewing experienced Superintendents, Estimators, and Carpenters for work in the Northwest Louisiana market.

If you take pride in organizing successful, safe builds from start to finish, or if this sounds like someone you know, I’d welcome the conversation. Come build with us.
