🏗️ CONSTRUCTION HISTORY | October 28, 1965

On this day in 1965, the final piece of the Gateway Arch was set into place in St. Louis, completing one of the most recognizable structures in the country.

Designed by architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel, the Arch took an incredible team to turn that design into reality. Construction began in 1963 and involved hundreds of skilled workers, tradespeople, engineers and contractors.

The finished Arch stands 630 feet tall — and 630 feet wide. Its reinforced concrete foundations extend 60 feet underground, with 30 feet anchored into bedrock.

More than 60 years later, it’s still an impressive reminder that iconic structures start with a great design — but it takes skilled people to build them.

Details matter — especially when you're building something meant to last.

💙 Make a Difference Day

Giving back to our community is important at ECI.

Whether it’s volunteering, serving on local nonprofit boards, supporting community organizations, or putting our construction skills to work for a good cause, we believe there are a lot of ways to make a difference.

It doesn’t always have to be a big gesture. Sometimes it’s giving your time, sharing your skills, supporting a cause or simply showing up when someone needs a hand.

Small acts build stronger communities.

Today is a good reminder to find a way to make a difference right where we live and work. 💙

We love construction… Well, a little less when it makes getting to our own office an adventure! 😂🚧

Even ECI isn’t immune to construction inconvenience! With roadwork underway on Country Club Road and Perkins Road, getting to our office has been a little tricky.

Thankfully, the A&R Mechanical team doing the work has been great to work with, and we appreciate their help as we navigate construction right outside our own door!

Coming to see us? Please call 217-383-1066 before stopping by. We’ll help you find your way in and let you know where to park.

Not all buildings are brand new.

With colder weather ahead, it’s a good time to check your commercial property’s exterior lighting, keep customer and employee entrances clear, and address small repairs before winter makes them more difficult.

A little attention now can help keep your building ready for business throughout the winter.

Hey Friends! Sorry for not posting earlier—we were pretty wrapped up in the build! 🐾

Team ECI, supervised by Mr. Woo, had a great day at Raise the Woof! This year’s design was inspired by the Urbana Park District’s live-edge black locust trail build-out at Busey Woods. We used reclaimed cedar donated by Miller Farms Barn Wedding Venue to create our live-edge doghouse. Jon went the extra mile, using leftover materials to build a beautiful birdhouse to go with it.

We also brought home the Team Spirit Award AND the Builders Award! We’re especially grateful for the Builders Award because it was voted on by the other doghouse builders at the event. That recognition means a lot to our team. 💙

Thank you to Miller Farms for the cedar and to everyone who stopped by to cheer us on. ECI is proud to support Habitat for Humanity of Champaign County, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s build!

🔥 Fire Prevention Week | October 4–10

Fire prevention is another part of making sure everyone goes home safe.

Temporary power, hot work, equipment, and combustible materials can all create fire hazards if they aren’t properly managed. Good housekeeping, proper storage, accessible fire extinguishers, and paying attention to the details can make a big difference.

Because the best way to respond to a fire is to help prevent one in the first place.

If it can be done, it can be done safely.

🐾 A message from Mr. Woo…

Mr. Woo recently realized that Raise the Woof is in October this year, and apparently he has some opinions about the team uniform.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, he suggested Team ECI add a little pink to our Raise the Woof attire. 💗

We think he wears it pretty well.

As for this year’s doghouse? Mr. Woo has reviewed the plans, inspected the progress, and has decided we’re not ready for the big reveal just yet. 👀🔨

You’ll have to wait a little longer for that one…

Raise the Woof — October 10! 🐶🏠
