Safety is one of Ancon Construction’s top priorities. Our goal is for our employees to come to work and go home to their families. We have an extensive 85+ page safety program to ensure this and it is re-inforced daily on our job sites and in our office. Work is not the only place to remind everyone of safety as we approach the upcoming Fourth of July celebration weekend – fireworks, a backyard barbecue, maybe a trip to the beach. Whatever people have planned, Ancon Construction wants to pass on some of the American Red Cross’s holiday safety tips so we can all enjoy a safe weekend with our family and friends.
FIREWORKS SAFETY The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public fireworks show put on by professionals. Stay at least 500 feet away from the show. Many states outlaw most fireworks. If someone is setting fireworks off at home, they should follow these safety steps:
GRILLING SAFETY Every year people in this country are injured while using backyard charcoal or gas grills. Follow these steps to safely cook up treats for the backyard barbecue:
BEACH SAFETY If someone’s visit to the shore includes swimming in the ocean, they should learn how to swim in the surf and only swim at a lifeguarded beach, within the designated swimming area. Obey all instructions and orders from lifeguards. Other safety tips include:
RIP CURRENTS Rip currents are responsible for deaths on our nation’s beaches every year, and for most of the rescues performed by lifeguards. Any beach with breaking waves may have rip currents. Be aware of the danger of rip currents and remember the following:
Additional water safety tips are available at redcross.org/watersafetytips
SUN PROTECTION Limit exposure to direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15. Reapply sunscreen often. Remember to drink plenty of water regularly, even if not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them. Protect the eyes by wearing sunglasses that will absorb 100 percent of UV sunlight. Protect the feet – the sand can burn them and glass and other sharp objects can cut them.
During hot weather, watch for signs of heat stroke—hot, red skin; changes in consciousness; rapid, weak pulse; rapid, shallow breathing. If it’s suspected someone is suffering from heat stroke:
Have a safe weekend and enjoy fellowship with friends and family!

Granger, IN
Honey Baked Ham has chosen Ancon Construction, premier design build construction firm, to build out their new location in Granger, IN. They will take over a tenant space within Toscana Park. This large upscale shopping complex is located near Gumwood and Cleveland Road just north of Heritage Square.
Honey Baked Ham is relocating from their long standing location off of Ironwood and Edison in South Bend to better serve their clients and take advantage of the new development happening near Toscana Park. The new space will occupy 2,800 square feet and will feature a sit down deli cafe as well as the traditional carryout & delivery services. Ancon Construction worked closely with commercial real estate broker Bradley Company to create and design the interior layout for their new home. Eric Jensen, architect for Ancon Construction, stated, “Having the client, commercial broker, landlord, design and construction team working together as one design|build team allowed us take our client’s vision and make it a reality while staying on budget and on schedule. Our team approach is what creates a unique customer experience for our clients”.
More Than Just a Pickup
Honey Baked Ham has become more than just a store to stop by and pickup your holiday treats…they now have a loyalty rewards program. They have also created a fundraising program for non profits to provide yet another way to give back to the community.
Construction is slated to begin early July. Look for more updates as the project progresses.

Apostolic Temple Church, located on Ironwood Drive in South Bend, IN and Architect/General Contractor Ancon Construction will begin Phase 1 of a building project which aims to improve building accessibility. The phased projects will have an initial focus on improving building accessibility.
Phase 1, overseen by Project Manager Ken Wright, will include a new entrance canopy, sloped concrete walk, expanded north lobby, and a new ADA restroom. “One of the most common ministry design challenge is overcoming barriers such as existing stairs/steps, lack of maneuvering clearance for wheel chairs, or original restrooms that do not meet current ADA compliance standards,” explains Ancon Designer Matthew VanSoest. “Solutions to these issues are typically very challenging since we have limited space to work with. We are dealing with existing conditions from the early to mid-1900’s and are trying to upgrade/modify many aspects of the built environment – bringing them to current standards and/or compliance.”
