HOUSTON, TX, October 9, 2025 — BrandSafway, a leading provider of access, forming and shoring and specialty services to the industrial, commercial and infrastructure markets, and ranked fifth out of 600 Top Specialty Contractors by Engineering News Record (ENR), is honored to have raised $112,000 for The Sunshine Kids Foundation and Combat Marine Outdoors charities during its annual golf tournament held on Monday, October 6th at Bay Oaks Country Club.

The event has raised more than $750,000 for various charities over the past 15 years. This year, the event was renamed The BrandSafway Austin Stonestreet Memorial Golf Tournament, in honor of a beloved leader who served as the Company’s Regional Vice President, Gulf Region. Austin Stonestreet was a husband and father who passed away last year after a courageous battle with cancer.

“Austin Stonestreet led with integrity, compassion and an unwavering commitment to our people, our customers, our business and our community during his 13 years of service,” said BrandSafway President and CEO Gabriel McCabe. “We are honored to continue the tournament in his name and to have raised funds for two charities that are particularly meaningful for us, The Sunshine Kids Foundation and Combat Marine Outdoors.”

The Sunshine Kids Foundation is a nonprofit that has been serving children with cancer since 1982. The Foundation is committed to providing positive group activities and emotional support for young cancer patients through a variety of programs and events, free of charge, for children who are receiving cancer treatments in hospitals across North America. Learn more at Sunshine Kids.

Combat Marine Outdoors (CMO) is a nonprofit dedicated to healing visible and invisible wounds of our nation’s heroes. CMO provides life-changing outdoor adventures through approximately 100 ranches who actively participate in the program. More than 10,000 combat veterans have participated in outings designed to create an environment of friendship, camaraderie, and fellowship and accelerate recovery from traumatic injuries sustained in combat.

“The BrandSafway Austin Stonestreet Memorial Golf Tournament is especially significant for us this year,” said BrandSafway SVP, Growth Todd Bonvillian. “This tournament is an opportunity to bring together our team members and industry partners to positively impact our communities. It is one of the highlights of our year, raising funds that make a difference, celebrating friendship and creating a beautiful legacy of hope in Austin’s name.”

More than 50 BrandSafway volunteers planned and hosted this year’s event, donating their skills, time and enthusiasm. In addition, dozens of industry partners supported the event through sponsorships and player participation.

Global Construction Access Services Leader Continues to Innovate and Cultivate Strong Client Relationships with Headline-Making Projects, such as The MSG Sphere and The Louis Vuitton-branded 15-story Trunks on Fifth Avenue in NYC

LAS VEGAS, NV, January 21, 2024 — BrandSafway, a leading provider of access, forming and shoring and specialty services to the industrial, commercial and infrastructure markets, and recently ranked fifth out of 600 Top Specialty Contractors by Engineering News Record (ENR), is honored to showcase a full suite of solutions for every phase of the construction process at the World of Concrete tradeshow this year. Please visit the BrandSafway team in the South Hall at Booth #S11727 and outdoors in the SPEC MIX Bricklayer 500 Arena in the Bronze Lot.

“We are honored to help bring thousands of projects to life every year, from skyscrapers to stadiums, bridges to tunnels, hotels to historic renovations, airports to power plants and so much more,” said President and CEO Gabriel McCabe. “With more than 100 years of service and a commitment to safety, our world-class workforce of nearly 40,000 team members has local expertise to get projects completed safely, on time and on budget. We work behind the scenes to make sure our clients shine.”

Whether the project is large or small, the BrandSafway team is committed to treating every customer with care and bringing its signature professionalism and innovation to every project. BrandSafway has contributed to a number of exciting projects recently, including:

  • The groundbreaking MSG Sphere in Las Vegas
  • The Louis Vuitton branded logo trunks in New York, “The most fashionable scaffolding in the world,” according to The Wall Street Journal, where scaffolding has become both a work of art and a viral tourist attraction
  • The Scaffold & Access Industry Association (SAIA) Award-Winning Second Narrows Water Tunnel in Vancouver
  • The Gordie Howe International Bridge in Detroit
  • 50 Hudson Yards, New York City’s fourth largest commercial office tower
  • The Space Shuttle Endeavour installation at the California Space Center

There are several notable products and services featured in the BrandSafway booth, including the QuikDeck® Suspended Access System, which offers the advantage of safely working on an open, modular platform. Its patented configuration can adapt to fit most shapes and sizes — making it the ideal solution for a variety of projects, including tunnels, bridges, stadiums and more.

“QuikDeck is an extremely popular solution for our clients because it is reliable, easily customized and enables contractors to complete their projects quickly and efficiently,” said Director, Product Management – QuikDeck, Shannon O’Connell. “QuikDeck is essentially a factory floor in the sky, since it can be built in the air, or on the ground, and then hoisted into position, allowing workers to safely and easily complete tasks in situations that were previously challenging to access. We continue to develop enhancements and modifications, such as a multi-level platform, that empower our clients to accomplish more than ever before.”

In addition to QuikDeck, the BrandSafway team is demonstrating Flexi Deck, the Spider® SC1000 Voyager™ battery-powered hoist and the Hydro Mobile™ M2 Summit, which made its debut during last year’s World of Concrete 50th Anniversary tradeshow.

Flexi Deck, available exclusively from Aluma Systems, part of the BrandSafway family of companies, is a brand-new offering. Flexi Deck is an easy-to-use slab formwork system that can be moved manually and, thanks to the dropping heads, allows for the early dismantling of beams and planking used in the casting phase. It is lightweight yet robust, providing an optimal balance of strength and ease, ensuring maximum coverage with minimal amount of equipment.

The Hydro Mobile™ M2 Summit motorized access system allows clients to access an M Series work platform at any height, any time. Traveling at up to 35 feet per minute, carrying as many as three passengers at a time, the Summit reduces the time required to access the work area and increases worker safety. Additional independent fall protection is not required.

The Spider® SC1000 Voyager™ battery-powered hoist from BrandSafway enables our customers to go anywhere. Voyager eliminates the need to run power cables, call an electrician or rent a generator. There is no loss of productivity or extra service calls needed due to unreliable power. Voyager sets up quickly and easily anywhere and can be moved as the project progresses. A powerful Lithium-Ion battery will provide power that lasts up to three days on a single charge.

Unique Access Solution Helps Masons Solve Access Challenges While Prioritizing Safety

L’ASSOMPTION, Quebec, January 24, 2024 — Hydro Mobile, a leading designer and manufacturer of mast climbing work platforms and transport platforms in North America, has launched the new M2 Motorized Access System, a cost-effective, time-saving alternative to existing access systems. Hydro Mobile’s M2 Motorized Access System allows workers to ride safely to and from the platform at jobsites where access from the structure is challenging. This greatly reduces the time required to access the work area and eliminates the need for costly alternative solutions while prioritizing safety. The system will be demonstrated for the first time at the 50th Annual World of Concrete tradeshow in Las Vegas this week.

Masonry projects can take place hundreds of feet from ground level. If there is no way to access the work platform through the structure itself (e.g., an interior staircase and window), the current industry solution often involves using the mast as a ladder. This requires setting up an independent fall-arrest system to support workers climbing vertically. Accessing even higher platforms would mean implementing a separate access solution independent from the work platform, which would be time consuming and costly.

Alternatively, the M2 Motorized Access System travels at a maximum speed of 35 feet per minute and can accommodate up to three passengers, providing significant time savings compared to workers climbing up or down a mast one at a time. The M2 Motorized Access System also reduces dependence on scaffolding and stair towers and allows workers to travel independently to the work zone. The system is powered by a 208-volt electric hoist, allowing it to easily run off building power or a generator. The system is designed with worker wellbeing in mind, with built-in safety devices ensuring secure travel up and down the mast as well as a dual rope system, eliminating the need for a lifeline for each worker. The M2 Motorized Access system is available on new M2 platforms or can be retrofitted to existing M2 platforms.

“Masons and contractors are often confronted with situations where there is no convenient or safe way to access a platform from the building or a structure,” said Conor O’Neill, Head of Hydro Mobile. “The M2 Motorized Access System saves time, labor, and money, while placing safety first.”

The Hydro Mobile team invites World of Concrete attendees to visit our outside booth in the Spec Mix Bricklayer 500 arena in the Bronze lot and ask for a demonstration. A demonstration can also be scheduled by contacting your local Hydro Mobile dealer. With locations across North America, the Hydro Mobile team is on hand to show you how the M2 Motorized Access System can help increase employee safety and efficiency.

Global Infrastructure Services Leader Combines Technology and IT Teams into New Technology and Digitization Function to Drive Innovation and Growth

ATLANTA, Georgia, January 18, 2024 — BrandSafway, a leading provider of access and specialty services to industrial, commercial and infrastructure markets, has appointed Eileen White as SVP and Chief Information Officer effective March 31. In this role, White will lead digital optimization efforts and execute strategic initiatives to transform information technology services globally. She will report to EVP and Chief Technology and Digitization Officer, Mark Choe. BrandSafway EVP and Chief Information Officer Jay Fisher is retiring from the organization to pursue other interests, following 17 years of service.

The BrandSafway senior leadership team recognized the benefits of combining the company’s engineering expertise, product management, and global capabilities and has decided to combine the company’s Technology and IT teams to capitalize on additional synergies and cross-functional idea development in a newly named function called Technology and Digitization.

“Since joining BrandSafway, Eileen has played a pivotal role in developing our transformational IT roadmap and PMO operating cadence, and we look forward to the positive impact she will continue to have across the company,” said President and CEO Karl Fessenden. “Aligning the company’s field application, engineering, and product management capabilities will be a powerful combination as BrandSafway continues to drive innovation and growth across the company. We are grateful for Jay’s leadership through more than 40 acquisition/integration projects, as well as building a best-in-class global IT team and serving as a strong partner across all of our businesses and functions.”

White has more than 20 years of experience leading large-scale global enterprise technology implementations, developing digital transformation strategy, delivering enterprise systems, driving operational efficiencies and modernizing IT processes. She joined BrandSafway as VP of IT Transformation last year and has already achieved measurable results in developing IT systems strategies to deliver new and enhanced business capabilities and operational efficiencies. She previously worked as VP, IT, Quality and Transformation for Ciox Health and held both business and IT leadership roles at General Electric (GE).

“I’m excited to continue evolving the organization’s capabilities and providing enhanced digital technology solutions to achieve our strategic business goals,” said White. “We have a strong team in place and have built incredible momentum on projects that deliver efficiency and enhance the service we offer our customers.”

White holds a Master of Science in Quality Systems Management from Anna Maria College in Paxton, Mass., as well as a Bachelor of Business Administration in Operations and Information Management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She served as a Board Member for Glorious Orphanage, dedicated to partnering with local leaders in Tanzania and Guatemala to build sustainable communities.
