Excellence In Construction
The Excellence in Construction® Award is the construction industry’s premier annual awards program that honors the state’s and nation’s most innovative and outstanding merit shop construction projects. Submitted projects are judged by a panel on complexity, attractiveness, unique challenges overcome, completion time, workmanship, innovation, safety and cost. The recipient is recognized for having world-class safety, inclusion, diversity and merit programs.
In 2023, Merit Electrical Group earned a local and a national Eagle Award as Commercial Electrical Contractor for our Seneca Valley School District New K-4 / 5-6 Elementary School construction project.
This is the first school in Pennsylvania to have a severe weather shelter. The roof and walls are concrete, the doors and windows are storm-resistant, and the school features its own backup power and water source. In addition, the school was designed to model a Children’s museum allowing students to map their own path to learning.
Merit Electrical Group is excited and proud to have had the opportunity to be a part of building this amazing, innovative school.
STEP Program Achievements
Merit Electrical Group is a dedicated subscriber to the STEP safety program. Established in 1989 by the Associated Builders and Contractors National Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) Committee, the Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) program was developed and written by contractors, for contractors. The program provides contractors with an organized approach for analyzing and developing safety and loss prevention programs. The key component in the STEP process forms a 20-point guide to starting, updating or auditing a company-wide safety program. It incorporates OSHA requirements with self-assessments to give a full, wide ranging report on the effectiveness of a company’s Safety Program. All companies claim that safety is a priority, but with STEP we can prove it!
Merit Electrical Group is a proud STEP award recipient every year since the company was incorporated in 2006.
