The Clackamas County Circuit Courthouse project in Oregon is a social infrastructure project that addressed the need to replace the existing courthouse, which no longer met the needs of the growing Clackamas population.
Responsible labour was a top priority since the outset of the courthouse project. Fengate's President and CEO, Lou Serafini, met with the design-builder (PCL) and LiUNA in October 2022 to ensure a local relationship was established and a signatory list was made available to the team. PCL also partnered with signatory mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractors. The value of the MEP work was more than 30% of the project.
The project was completed on schedule in May 2025, a testament to the hard work of the project team and union locals, with a total of 496,000 union hours worked, which equals approximately 92% of the total hours.
