Bronco Industrial

Summer's over, but the impact these two made isn't going anywhere.

As fall begins, we want to take a moment to recognize Ethan Jardell and Chris Felps Jr. for the work they put in and the growth we watched happen in real time over the summer.

Ethan spent his summer in the field, working alongside our piping crews and getting a real education in what it takes to build. He helped pipefitters with installation and fit-up, staged materials and equipment, assisted with measurements and layout, and learned our safety and rigging practices from the ground up. He also kept work areas organized so the crew could stay efficient and safe. More than the tasks themselves, what stood out was his attitude: eager to learn, easy to work with, and someone the crew could count on from day one.

Chris spent time learning the processes behind billing and accounts receivable. He also worked directly with our onsite teams on timekeeping and kept them updated on budgets, giving him a front row seat to how the numbers and the fieldwork connect. On top of that, Chris got hands on with project drawings and documents, helping with pricing and estimating for potential scopes and change orders, real work with real stakes.

Thank you, Ethan and Chris, for the energy, the curiosity, and the hard work you brought to Bronco this summer. We're proud to have played a part in your journey, and we can't wait to see where it takes you next.

Today is National Tradesmen Day, and we're taking a moment to recognize and thank all the men and women who are the heart of everything Bronco does.

Our people are the reason we exist, and we appreciate their dedication to helping Bronco build our reputation, one project, one weld, and one hard day's work at a time.

To every member of our team: thank you. We don't take a single one of you for granted.

From a 3D model to a commissioned system, every foot of pipe passes through one team's hands.

Our pipe fabrication capabilities are built to handle the full scope of what industrial projects demand. Our teams own the entire process, fabricating and installing pipe systems that perform from day one and hold up over time.

We work across traditional and specialty alloys, and every installation is backed by the kind of quality control that comes from a team that self-performs from start to finish.

The numbers tell the story: tens of thousands of linear feet fabricated and installed across demanding projects with weld acceptance rates that reflect the pride our craftsmen put into every joint.

Every pipefitter has a job that tested them. What was yours?

There's something about seeing your team on a jobsite that never gets old.
It means our crews are out there every single day doing what they do best and making an impact for the clients we serve.

Pipe racks going up. Structural steel columns and beams being set and bolted up. Field fabrication by a team that takes genuine pride in the work they put their name on.

That pride shows up in the details and the way a crew looks out for one another so everyone goes home safe. Ten years in, that standard is what our reputation is built on.

We're proud of every craft professional, foreman, and superintendent who represents Bronco on jobsites like this one. You're the reason clients keep calling us back, and that's not something we take for granted.

For the past ten years, Bronco and our people have delivered, and we're just getting started.

Before a single piece of equipment leaves the ground, much of the work is already done.

A heavy lift is a high-consequence operation, and there's no room for improvisation. The crane configuration, rigging, crew positioning, and communication all have to be locked in before anyone gives the go-ahead.

We know these lifts are high stakes, which is why our teams put in the necessary planning before the lift ever happens. We go through detailed lift plans, pre-lift safety reviews, roles, and contingencies.

When it's time to execute, our operators bring the kind of steady, experienced hands that only come from years of running large cranes in some of the most complex industrial environments.

Everyone in the field has a "that's why we plan" story. What's your near-miss story that serves as a reminder of the importance of planning and safety? 👇
