Denham-Blythe Company team members volunteered to assemble a portion of the 6,000+ Thanksgiving boxes as part of God’s Pantry Food Bank ‘s Sharing Thanksgiving Basket Brigade on Saturday, Nov. 11. Each box included food for a family to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal at home.

Denham-Blythe received the 2023 AGC’s Build Kentucky Award in the Design/Build category for Catalent Pharma Solutions Front Office Expansion in Winchester, KY. The Catalent Front Office Addition consisted of adding a brand-new main office to the front of the Catalent Headquarters and be the new focal point and showcase of the facility. With contracts to manufacture pharmaceutical products from customers all over the United States and world, the new state-of-the-art addition serves as a welcome center to customers worldwide, as they visit and tour the first-class clean rooms and production suites.  The new building also provided a much-needed consolidation of various Catalent staff offices to one central location. The new offices and main entrance not only add great conference rooms and working spaces for visiting customers, but they add exceptional curb appeal to the local industrial park. The facility has an entirely different look to show off their products. This addition provides more job opportunities for the Winchester community, while positively impacting the economy. The construction of this project consisted largely of Kentucky-based contractors. We appreciate partnering with Catalent on their new office building.

Construction is underway for a new hazardous manufacturing facility for LioChem/Toyo Ink in Franklin, KY. The building will be 85,000 SF including new offices, tank farms, process mezzanines, a new electrical service, and enhanced fire suppression systems.

Denham-Blythe Team Members celebrated our joint venture with Nissin Original Cup Noodles at the project kickoff in Piedmont, SC! The Project team is showcasing some of the products made by Nissin. They produce some of our favorite cup of noodles at this facility. The project is scheduled for completion in Spring of 2025.

Construction is continuing to progress on the 640K Sq. Ft. Aluminum Recycle Facility in Guthrie, KY. We are wrapping up the casting pit construction and recently set, what some may say, is the largest cast cylinder in the world!

Taking flight! Our 55-ton crane arrives to help build the future of sustainable recycling! We’re excited to share a glimpse of the progress on one of our flagship projects. This massive 55-ton crane was recently set on its runway system and will play a crucial role in constructing this state-of-the-art recycling plant. This bridge crane is 12’-6” tall, carries its own manway catwalk and weighs a staggering 233,000 lbs!!!

In June, Denham-Blythe hosted the annual “Grow from Within” STEM career day for 23 local middle and high school students interested in Engineering and other construction careers at the Lexington headquarters in Lexington, Ky. Presentations and experiments were shown throughout the day by mechanical, civil, structural, and electrical engineers as well as architects. Several breakout sessions and activities for students included an introduction to architectural model building, a drone demonstration, 3D scanning and wooden beam demonstrations, and other STEM-related construction uses. It is hoped that the event will inspire students to consider choosing STEM careers in the construction industry for the future.
