Local builder Crain Construction has won a national Eagle Award from the Associated Builders & Contractors for its work on the $34 million expansion of nonwoven fabrics manufacturer Fiberweb's Old Hickory campus. The award was given by a panel of industry experts from trade associations and publications.

For this eight-month design-build project, Crain married pre-engineered and traditional structural steel buildings to create a 52,750-square-foot equipment platform and research and development center that includes manufacturing for small or short production runs. In addition to the construction of the new facility, Crain constructed process services including steam, compressed air, nitrogen, filtered water and chilled water to serve the facility.
