JBH Superintendent Troy Korkosz teaches the “Securing our Future Through Lean Construction” course at Local Union 469, a class focused on teaching pipefitters to identify and mitigate activities that do not directly support streamlined installations.

JBH Expands Operations to Nevada


In November 2016, at the invitation of a long-time client, JBH mobilized to Sparks, NV 1,018 miles from the Corporate Office in Albuquerque, NM. In true JBH project character, the customer is confidential and the work is moving rapidly.  After years of practice making strategic moves throughout the country supporting our customers, JBH was able to mobilize and began installing immediately.  To support the effort, JBH’s Albuquerque pipe fabrication facility is assembling 2″-8″ PVC, creating 40′ sections that are driven to Nevada weekly and unloaded directly into the facility. Past JBH strategic moves include Costa Rica; Colorado Springs, CO; Lehi, Utah; Chandler, AZ; and Malta, NY.
