'This milestone is the result of work by a team that is highly focused
and pays attention to personal and team safety,? said Mark Tressler,
execution manager for the ExxonMobil campus project team. 'We want
everyone on the site to work safe, so that they can go home safe.?


The team′s safety record is especially impressive considering the fast
pace of campus construction and the large scope of work. Nearly 20
buildings are now in various phases of construction.


Gilbane Building Company and Harvey Builders formed a joint venture,
Gilbane-Harvey, to act as the general contractor for the project. The
companies were selected, in part, based on their previous safety records
and experience.


The Houston campus project is one of the largest commercial construction
projects in the nation. Approximately 3,000 workers are on-site every
day. The injury incidence rate is one-sixth of the industry average for
commercial construction projects.


The project has invested in safety training for thousands of workers in
the Houston area construction industry.


The campus is located on a 385-acre wooded site on ExxonMobil-owned land
near the intersection of I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road. It will
accommodate approximately 10,000 employees and is being constructed to
high standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.
Construction began in 2011.


ExxonMobil employees will move to the campus in phases as the buildings
are constructed, beginning in early 2014. Full occupancy for employees
is expected in 2015.
