Commissioner Berry Awards SHARP Construction
Closing Certificate to Clancy & Theys
By Jason Tyson
Public Information Officer
Nc Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry joined officials from the
N.C. Department of Labor in Raleigh on June l to celebrate the SHARP
Construction closing ceremony of the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic
Cathedral by Clancy & Theys. Commissioner Berry' presented Clancy
& Theys, the general contractor of the site, with a SHARP certificate,
which recognizes employers who have developed and maintained
effective safety and health programs at their worksites. Clancy & Theys
has been a SHARP Construction participant since April 28, 2015. This
is Clancy & Theys first SHARP Construction project with NCDOL.
“A worker told me it’s the opportunity of a lifetime to work on a
project that has been blessed by God,” Commissioner Berry told
workers at the site. “As I look at the cathedral, I simply cannot believe
it and am awed by the talent and artistry of the workmanship, for it is
truly inspiring. This is your legacy, and for as long as you live you can
ride by here and point to it and say with pride, ‘I helped build this’.”
Construction began in January of 2015 on the 45,000-square foot
cathedral, which is located on a 45-acre site on Centennial Parkway in Raleigh. The cathedral was designed by O’Brien and Keane architects from
Arlington, Virginia, and featured nearly 2,000 workers from over 1 00 different subcontractor firms to complete the work.
Once completed and open, the cathedral will have a seated capacity of 1,920 worshippers and will be the Catholic Diocese of Raleigh’s largest facility
among its 96 parishes. The cathedral’s dome alone was transported by 25 different trucks and hoisted into place using a large crane.
“This has been a highly successful project with a lot of talented people involved,” said Rod Wilce, safety consultant with NCDOL’s Consultative
Sendees Bureau. "We are proud to award Clancy & Theys this SHARP certificate, which shows that they have gone above and beyond what is required
for department’s safety and health standards at this location.”
Clancy & Theys is expected to officially hand over the $41 million
completed cathedral to the Diocese in the next two to three weeks, with an
unveiling to the public expected in late July.
