Banker Steel is excited to announce that we are the design assist partner for the construction of the John Glenn Columbus International Airport New Midfield Terminal, located in Columbus, Ohio. This new 1,000,000 square foot terminal will replace the existing terminal, with an increased capacity to service more than 13 million passengers annually. Consisting of 20,000 tons of steel, New Midfield Terminal’s signature canopy is a 74-foot cantilevered structure with an exposed back span extending into the headhouse.

Last Wednesday Banker Steel employees participated in United Way of Central Virginia’s Annual Day of Caring. Every year, hundreds of volunteers from Central Virginia companies take the day off work to complete projects for local nonprofits. This year, we assisted the Campbell County Training School with renovations to their four buildings that will eventually serve as cultural, educational and historical spaces for community-centered activities meant to foster a more educated citizenry.

Today we pause to reflect and honor the selflessness and sacrifice of those men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their bravery and unwavering commitment to defend the ideals we hold dear will never be forgotten.

This month’s team member highlight features Robert " Bean " Hicks, Banker Steel’s Plant Manager for the Wythe Rd facility. Bean has been in the steel industry for 25 years, with 10 of those being at Banker Steel. A few aspects of his job that he enjoys most are the daily variety of work and fabricating complex pieces. The biggest win of his time at Banker Steel was turning the safety culture of his plant around. His dedication to safety shows, with his plant going 2+ years without a recordable incident. Additionally, working on steel members for JPMorgan Chase’s headquarters at 270 Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan, was a high point of his career at Banker Steel.   For those just starting out in the industry, Bean has these words of encouragement: ‘Not all days are good ones, but the end result is worth it.’ When Bean isn’t fabricating steel he enjoys spending time with his 3 amazing kids and watching football (Go Chiefs!). Bean, thanks for your hard work and dedication to Banker Steel!
