Please join us in congratulating two very special people on their well-earned retirement from Deem Structural Services: James Wingate and Jeffrey Bolyer.

James began his career with our sister company, Basden Steel, when it was first founded nearly 40 years ago! He later transitioned to Deem Structural Services as a superintendent, and we are honored he chose to finish his career with us. Over the years, James played an integral role in many of our projects, with clients often specifically requesting him to be on their job. He was also an important part of the USAF Cadet Chapel Restoration—an incredibly unique, first-of-its-kind project for our company. We will miss his great humor and incredible work ethic, but we are excited for this next chapter as he spends more time with his wonderful wife and kids.

Jeff was David Deem’s first employee and has been with us for 15 outstanding years. As a superintendent, he led many important and challenging projects, including the Buddy Holly Museum in Lubbock, Choctaw Casino in Oklahoma, and our recent IAH project. Jeff made a lasting impact on our company, and while we are sad to see him go, we are excited for what’s ahead. We hope his retirement is filled with plenty of hunting, fishing, and time with his grandkids.

Throughout their careers, both James and Jeff contributed to award-winning projects, some of which you’ll see highlighted here. One of the most special parts of this industry is the legacy it leaves behind. The buildings they helped bring to life stand as lasting monuments to their hard work, projects they can look back on and proudly say, “I had a part in that.”

Thank you, James and Jeff, for your years of dedication and the legacy you leave behind. We wish you both the absolute best in retirement!

Our crew topped out at the New Braunfels Utilities Headquarters this past week! The 250,000-square-foot facility will include a 142,000-square-foot office building, a 60,000-square-foot warehouse, and 48,000 square feet of equipment and maintenance buildings.

This project will bring many new jobs to the area and is set to open in summer 2027. We’re proud to play a role in bringing it to life—congrats to everyone involved in this project! 👏

Leadership from our Deem Structural Services team came together this past Friday to focus on safety and the ways we can continue to better serve our people and our company. Safety is our top priority at Deem, and we value taking the time to come together for meaningful conversations around it.

We covered key safety topics, recognized supervisors who go above and beyond, and—of course—had some fun along the way. We’re ready to make 2026 our best year yet!👊

Views from last week’s IAH Airport project 🏗️✈️
The DEEM crew built five bridge sections on the ground, with the heaviest weighing in at an incredible 184,000 pounds.

The er****on process left zero room for error—we executed a series of complex heavy lifts using a 400-ton crane, assembled overnight in an extremely tight area to “fly” each section into its final position.

All of this took place directly over an active airport roadway, requiring precise crane and rigging plans and highly coordinated traffic control to ensure total safety and a perfect fit.

Great work by everyone involved, and huge shoutout to Basden Steel for fabricating these monsters! 👏
