Excel Sportswear Design of the Week Trident Construction

This is National Construction Safety Week.

From May 6th – 10th across the United States and Canada, companies focus on increasing the industry’s safety culture by sharing best practices, tools, and resources.

So, in honor of National Construction Safety Week, we are spotlighting this safety-themed shirt from Trident Construction, an unlimited licensed contractor from Charleston, South Carolina.

Providing construction services around the Southeastern United States, Trident Construction structured their business around their “TEAM BUILD” business model, with their design professionals working collaboratively with their clients.This shirt is in celebration of Trident Construction’s annual, company-wide Safety Picnic and family event.

“[This picnic] is my favorite event of the year,” says Elizabeth Reed, Trident Marketing Coordinator. “Each year we are able to come up with a new theme and get creative about the products we give to our employees.”

“At the picnic, we give out awards for the most man-hours worked without accidents as well as a company voted Overall Safety Award,” says Reed.

This is the third Safety Picnic shirt for Trident Construction that Excel has designed. In years past, designs have featured their tiger mascot around construction sites and also flipping burgers. This year Elizabeth wanted something along the same picnic-themed lines, and with those suggestions, it was up to our Excel illustrator Eric Poole to come up with the design.

The orange color and tiger mascot are no coincidences, they are themes embraced from their Clemons University roots.

“Trident Construction has over 20 Clemson University graduates including 4 of our partners,” explains Elizabeth, a Clemson grad herself. “Clemson University’s mascot is the Tiger so of course, we had to adopt the mascot as well,” she laughs.

The familiar roots have cultivated a family atmosphere on the job.

“I am extremely proud to work for a company that embraces family,” beams Elizabeth. “We are a hard-working group of individuals that ensure major construction projects are complete, but at the end of the day Trident Construction feels more like family than work.”

And that family atmosphere has led to Elizabeth building relationships here at Excel, too, as Trident Construction has ordered several shirts from Excel over the years. She credits the “creativeness and help with the design process” as reasons for her repeat business.

“Excel has been great to work with. Even without a ton of direction, they are able to be creative and come up with a design that embodies our event.”

Earlier in April, Trident Construction celebrated their “topping out” of 22 WestEdge, a commercial office building being built in downtown Charleston.

“A topping out celebration means that the building has had all of the steel erected for all of the floors in the building,” explains Elizabeth.

“In the case of 22 WestEdge not only was the steel complete but so was the concrete. Excel Sportswear helped us with t-shirts for our topping out event and we celebrated the construction crews help in this major milestone.”
